Description
The Omega board is built for the experienced rider with the focus on responsiveness and a lively ride. The Omega boards are designed for riders wanting reactive performance and exceptional carving ability. This board has excellent pop and releases superbly off the water making it good for wake style tricks, while the elliptical outline and sculpted tip shape provides the board with a true “carvey” turn, making it excellent for powered wave riding.
Waveriding
The elliptical outline provides more curvature in the tip so the board turns sharply on a small radius. Even on small waves the board drives well and pushes out of top and bottom turns. The Omega board has a loose “skate” feel, making it ideal for the experienced rider who is looking for a fun, fast and reactive board.
Responsiveness
The wood / Airex® composite construction makes the board more responsive to even slight rider input and delivers superb feedback to the rider throughout their riding experience.
Quick Planing
The overall board dimensions have been designed to help you to get up on the plane very quickly enabling you to ride on your preferred kite size and make the most of all conditions.
Outstanding pop
The stiffness offered by the Wood / Airex® construction the means that the board has excellent pop without sacrificing power holding ability. The stiff sections develop excellent pop for wakestyle manouveres without reducing the wave riding performance of the board.
Easy to land
The extra width the board has provides a large landing area. This means that it is easier to control fast landings and ride away with control, speed and confidence.

Features
Stance Position
All boards in the range offer three stance width options (38, 42 and 46cm). Whilst testing with a variety of riders we found that stance position made a significant difference to the feel of the board. Feedback from our professional rider team led to the inclusion of the wide stance option which helps them to land powered moves with more consistency giving an edge in competitions. The wide stance puts your feet closer to the fins and board tips which enables more controllable powered carving, great for freeride sessions. The 42cm stance is optimum for most riders as it is a solid stance width and creates more flexible tips making the board more forgiving and landings easier. The 38cm stance is perfect for smaller riders.
Outline shape
Testing showed us that the outline shape of the board makes a massive difference to how the board behaves. We found that by adjusting the curvature of the board outline, you can control a number of different aspects of the board. The outline shapes of our board range have each been carefully designed to so that every size and model delivers outstanding performance.
Top mould shape
The unique Flexifoil-designed top mould shape keeps the board stiff in the centre whilst allowing for more flex towards the tips and the fins. This makes it easy to edge the board in strong winds and also provides great pop. The flex in the tips of the board enables the rider to carve upwind easily and generate awesome power to boost off the water.
Top mould shape strength
Our unique shape helps to distribute the loads that are put on the board throughout every session. It makes the board strong in all areas and helps prevent it from braking even after a heavy landing.
Top mould grab detailing
To help control the board during grabs and board offs we’ve incorporated a grip texture into the top mould. This makes it easy to hold and stops your hands from slipping.
Concave style
The concave shape helps to stiffen the board in the centre section, providing progressively more flex towards the tips. This means that the board edges well in strong winds as it puts your feet closer to the fins and board tips. It also helps the board to plane easily in light wind conditions.
2mm ABS side walls
Extremely durable and strong. The red coloured side walls are excellent for spotting your board in the water and provide the added security of a relatively ding-proof rail.
Pads and straps
Fully adjustable, strong and comfortable. Contoured footpads are screwed on to the board using the foot strap bolts (no glue required) so you can change the foot position easily. The ergonomically designed straps are strong and comfortable and dismantle easily for travel.
Wake Style option
The Delta and Omega board’s foot-strap inserts are designed to accommodate a standard wake-style binding plate. This gives the rider the option of a true wake-style setup for kiting and also enables the board to be used as a standard wakeboard when fitted with the binding plate.
Board accessories
High quality 55mm G10 fins ensure that you won’t be skipping out easily and allow you to maintain an aggressive upwind course with less effort. The ergonomically designed grab handle has a comfortable and solid feel, making it easy to latch on to at all times. The package is completed with fully polished stainless fittings.
Legendary Flexifoil quality
As with all Flexifoil products, our boards are finished to the very highest standard and are built to deliver a fun and rewarding experience for years to come.
High-gloss UV-stable finish
A high-gloss UV protective finish has been added to the top skin of the board so that it will continue to look good for years to come, even if left in the sun.
