THIS IS 2016
LET US BLOW YOUR MIND.
Lieuwe

WELCOME TO
LIEUWE’S WORLD
craftsmanship
Imagine a shaper that doesn’t care about his looks or the car he drives, focused only on shaping the
perfect board. Imagine a man with a rough beard, lumberjack outfit and dungarees, pencil behind his ear
and notebook in his left pocket with his latest ideas. Imagine the guy riding upside down while everyone
else is doing tricks, testing every possible riding experience.
Lieuwe is a self-made man, with his own unique style. Rough, real, handmade. Like his boards. Shaped
with a team of dedicated friends and passionate riders. A collective capable of bringing in excitement,
exploration and adventure. Challenging the status quo and inventing new ways, techniques and materials
to produce the best board possible, for everyone out there.
Every Lieuwe board is in its own way custom, meeting the personal needs and looks of the rider. Your
Lieuwe board is like the axe of a lumberjack, the cafe racer of a biker, the best Scottish Whiskey of a rich
man, the riffle of a hunter, the drugs of an addict or the wine case of the best wine out there. Your Lieuwe
board represent your biggest stories, best memories and future adventures. Your Lieuwe board is you.

2016 - IS ABOUT
CRAFTSMANSHIP
It is with great pride that we present our 2016 boards. When first coming to the market, Florian and Rik
shared the philosophy of making kiteboards personal again. Bringing that rough feeling to kiteboarding
and shape innovative boards without compromise. True craftsmanship with the newest technologies
proudly shows us higher jumps, easier trick execution and more comfortable riding.
Say No More / SNM
The Say No More is unique in its kind. A comfortable yet playfully effective wake style board. Its special
shape with more rocker enables you to really progress wake style tricks, all the while having the dynamic
flex provide softer landings without losing its pop capabilities.
Shotgun / SG
The Shotgun is our Big Air pride. A round more straight outlined board with deeper channels and antispray
tips. When handcrafting the boards, we can create a unique 3D flex making your pop effective yet
comfortable in choppy conditions.
Awesome / AS
50% of the kiters are happily cruising in the sun or doing back rolls and high jumps, beginner of experienced.
The Awesome is developed to exactly meet those needs. The board came a long way, but safe to say it’s
now a surprisingly fun ride for really anyone.

HANDLE
What about a handle? Nothing special
right, just a good grip for your board
to carry it where ever you want to go.
That’s what we thought too.

ADVANCED
STRAPS
Straps need to follow your foot and
give the right amount of pressure to
keep your foot in place. That’s exactly
what there straps do. They are easy
adjustable, made of soft materials and
comfortable to ride.

G10 FINS
Being a big fan of a playful ride, we
don’t really like big fins. The new
channels of the Shotgun go perfectly
with 40 mm G10 fins giving solid grip
to go big and keep on playing.

We don’t shape boards for just
everybody, we shape your personal

its own unique brand mark with a
type and serial number engraved.
There’s never two of one so you

can keep track of our family and

We welcome your board experience

Concave curves the rail a few degrees

combination between the long concave
across the width of the board and a middle
concave with channels. This combination
provides extra upwind abilities, but keeps
the playfull feeling by dividing the concave
in four.

SETUP 1
The Say No More is great with boots
and with straps. Boots makes you
able to edge a bit harder because you
don’t have any flexibility between your
board and your body. Because the
increased channels, the SNM could
also be ridden without fins, but is most
advised with 25mm fins. These fins are
150mm long and have lot of grip when
edging hard, however, they are only
25mm high and this mades nose -, tail
slides easy and great to play around.

SETUP 2
The Dynamic flex of the board makes
this board the perfect freestyle board
even with straps. The large rocker
creates a very smooth ride and the
possibility to land more tricks than
every before. Riding straps, we advise
to put the 40MM Lieuwe fins on the
board for the ultimate ride.

Awesome, that’s how kiting feels for the first time. When you progress, you think
about your first backrolls, jumps, turns and just about cruising around. This board
is exactly made for that, easy upwind abilities, enough volume to go steady and a
perfect flex pattern so chop can’t bother you no more. Just so you don’t have to
think about your board or going upwind and it all feels like going on its own.

RIDING TIPS
The perfect shape for easy riding. The Flex
tips and stiff middle gives you the best and
most comfortable ride ever. Furthermore,
the wide- but round tips makes this board
larger to increase the simplicity of riding.
LIGHT WEIGHT
Even the Awesome is 3D shaped. This made it
possible to decrease the thickness of the rail
to decrease weight. Combined with the thin
tips, the Awesome is very light for its 138cm
in size. A lighter board is easier carrying it
around and feels more comfortable during
riding and jumping.
