About SU-2 Kiteboards Etno Collection Bwrdd Barcud

Mae Casgliad Etno Bwrddau Barcud SU-2 yn gyfres o fyrddau barcud a ysbrydolwyd gan ddyluniad a thraddodiad Affricanaidd. Mae'r casgliad yn cynnwys pum math o fwrdd, ac mae pob math wedi'i fwriadu ar gyfer gweithgaredd gwahanol, gan gynnwys byrddau gwynt ysgafn, arddull rydd a byrddau hollt. Mae'r byrddau hollt wedi'u cyfansoddi o dri elfen. Mae pob bwrdd wedi'i wneud o bren a charbon, ac mae'n mesur 450 mm o led a 1480 i 1550 mm o hyd. Mae patrymau lliwgar wedi'u hargraffu yn dwyn i gof fygydau a tharianau traddodiadol. Caiff y graffeg ei roi ar waith trwy argraffu digidol. Datblygwyd y casgliad yng Ngwlad Pwyl rhwng 2017 a 2019.

Production Technology: Digital print design, wood and carbon board
Design Challenge: The challenge was to create an original collection of boards. The kitesurfers community is very hermetic, it can be compared to a tribe. Kitesurfing is a colorful sport. this is how the idea of creating boards inspired by African warriors arose each kitesurfer struggles with the watt and the sea, overcomes his weaknesses
Research: Analyzing the kitesurfing market, we came to the conclusion that the competition projects do not have a leading idea. They are based mainly on geometric abstract motives. Our thinking went in a different direction, each collection must have ideas based on the personality of the sport. We compared the users to warriors who overcome their weaknesses while practicing this sport. They fight the waves and the wind which gives them happiness
Inspiration: African Roots Inspired
Project Duration: The project started in 2017 and finished in Poland in 2019
Operation Flow: The Su2 brand has thirty years of experience in the production of boards. The company is a precursor who started producing boards in 1999. Many years of experience and an original approach to the design of boards have made the company one of the leaders in the manufacture of this equipment.
