About SU-2 Kiteboards Etno Collection 카이트보드
SU-2 카이트보드 에트노 컬렉션은 아프리카의 디자인과 전통에서 영감을 받은 카이트보드 시리즈이다. 이 컬렉션은 다섯 가지 보드 유형으로 구성되며, 각 유형은 라이트윈드, 프리스타일, 스플릿 보드 등 서로 다른 활동을 위해 고안되었다. 스플릿 보드는 세 개의 요소로 이루어져 있다. 각 보드는 목재와 카본으로 제작되었으며, 너비 450mm, 길이 1480~1550mm이다. 화려한 프린트 패턴은 전통적인 가면과 방패를 연상시킨다. 그래픽은 디지털 프린팅 방식으로 적용되었다. 이 컬렉션은 2017년부터 2019년까지 폴란드에서 개발되었다.

- 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
