NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS! NEW BOARDS
In 2008, MBS has further specialized each of the three boards in our Pro Line to allow them to do what each of them are best at, even better. This means that whatever your riding style is, MBS has a NEW Pro board that will give you a clear advantage over your competitors (and friends). Be the one to take the sport to the next level, stick a trick that's never been done before, or ride the "unrideable" with the new MBS Pro Line.
PRO 100 - The Leon Robbins Pro 100 (replacement for Pro 16) is more bomb-proof than ever, coming stock with indestructible aluminum Rock Star Pro hubs. If you want a "CAN DO" board under your feet it doesn't get any better than this.

PRO 95 - Thanks to the introduction of the NEW Vector Pro trucks with titanium axles, the Pro 95 is over a pound lighter than it's predecessor the Pro 12, and the fact that this savings is in the area of the trucks means that the spin weight of this board is less than any pro board ever made before it. This thing spins like a top! A freestyler's dream - the competition's nightmare.

PRO 90 - Finally, with the aid of high performance engineering materials such as carbon-fiber and titanium, the Pro 90 is simply the lightest pro kiteboard ever made - several POUNDS lighter than it's predecessor the Pro 6. So for all you kiters who have been asking for this, get ready to fly.
