About the product
The Foilboard that can make it all: Freeride, Wave, Freestyle, Race. This is our interpretation of a one board quiver, while being eco-friendly with just a plant and air inside, very stiff, light and durable.
Every KARA Foilboard is custom made in Germany/Munich and feature our unique Agave Hollow Construction with Flax Fiber Stringers. Mininum swing weight through hollow nose and tail, maximum stiffness and a super direct connection to the foil.
After the CNC process every agave beam of the blank is being hollowed out individually conerning to the board configuration of the customer (custom track and strap positions) and then glued together. 4 Flax Fiber Stringers are reinforcing the board through the whole length, maximizing the huge potential of this construction method. The fibers of the agave beams are very stiff in longitudinal direction, which gives the core a very high bending stifness already without the outer laminate. This is why the board is very durable, despite using the most eco friendly, natural and biodegradable core material available.
The available sizes, designs and configurations are just a reference. Every Foilboard is custom made. Special custom shapes? Very individual foil track or strap configurations? Special Design ideas? Simply get in touch and we can make it happen.

"The properties of agave make it an ideal material for foilboards. Its exceptional longitudinal stiffness gives our boards outstanding bending resistance and a highly direct connection to the foil. Because the core is so stiff, the outer fibers are exposed to significantly lower forces, making our boards more durable than traditional foam boards. The blanks also allow for hollow construction, which results in exceptionally lightweight boards. But all these advantages are just a bonus compared to the main reason we use agave: our boards are made from a fully natural and biodegradable core — the most eco-friendly board blank in the world. KARA Foilboards have only a plant and air inside!"
No, there are many ways to waterproof a blank. Instead of using a toxic polyester resin, we recommend using a bio-based epoxy resin. Another option is to vacuum the blank with more waterproof veneers or woods such as Paulownia.

Agave - Eco, Affordable & Performance
What makes it sustainable? How is the performance? Why do we source our agave from Kenya? Can European agave match its quality for shaping surfboards? Is it truly more durable and resistant compared to foam boards? Why does it has more potential to make a sustainable change in the industry than other alternatives to foam ?
