CARVED IMPERATOR PRO

Beyond Legendary — Twintip Excellence for Big Air & Freestyle Dominance

The Carved Imperator Pro is the pinnacle of performance twintip design for riders who demand explosive big-air response, elite freestyle precision, and uncompromising build quality. Handcrafted in Germany with advanced carbon construction and precision-milled 3D shaping, the Imperator Pro is built for kiteboarders who ride fast, edge hard, boost higher, and expect total control in powered conditions.

At its heart is a carefully selected Paulownia wood core, wrapped in exclusive Cartan 2 carbon—an ultra-low-resin, thinner, stiffer carbon laminate that delivers faster energy return, lighter swing weight, and explosive pop. This is not a mass-produced kiteboard. It's a premium carbon machine engineered so every takeoff, landing, carve, and high-speed run feels deliberate and connected.

Performance Highlights

  • Ultra-premium carbon twintip for big air and high-performance freestyle
  • Handcrafted Carved construction with precision-milled 3D deck and bottom contours
  • Cartan 2 carbon for low weight, rapid response, and powerful energy return
  • Paulownia wood core for a refined flex pattern and natural chop damping
  • Central keel with 3D channels through the center and tips for tracking, acceleration, and edge control
  • Deep carbon-red bottom with a stealth matte-black deck

Cartan 2 Carbon: Why It Matters

Cartan 2 is the evolution of Carved's original Cartan carbon layup—a thinner, flatter, ultra-low-resin laminate with a higher fiber-to-resin ratio. The result: a lighter, stronger board with faster restoring force, more explosive pop, and up to 80% less cutting waste in production.

  • Quicker edge response — faster reaction as you load the rail
  • More explosive pop — higher restoring forces release energy faster off the takeoff
  • Lower swing weight — lighter, more maneuverable through transitions and board-offs
  • Precise control at speed — greater torsional rigidity holds shape under heavy load and hard landings
