A big air kiteboard, or a big air twintip, is made to jump as high as possible during your kitesurfing session. Big air kiteboards are used during competitions where height and extreme kite loops are central, such as the King of the Air and the Big Air Kite League. A kiteboard that is suitable for big air must meet a number of properties: speed, grip and explosive pop. Speed takes a kiteboard off the rocker; the flatter the rocker, the more speed. Big air twin tips therefore have a low to medium rocker. A kiteboard gets grip through the bottom profile. Channels and concave can be incorporated into the bottom profile, which gives grip to a kiteboard. The more grip, the better you can keep the edge and the higher you can jump. Finally, pop is important. You get pop from the stiffness of a kiteboard. In general, carbon kiteboards have a more explosive pop compared to fully wood. Examples of big air kiteboards are: Duotone Jaime SLS, North Atmos Pro and Lieuwe Falcon

The best twintip kiteboards for big air are made of carbon, with a low rocker and good grip thanks to a well-thought-out bottom profile. It may differ per kitesurfer which big air twitip kiteboard is best for you. Maybe you lose control due to the stiffness of the carbon, or you sail on a choppy spot, which makes it better to ride a fully wood kiteboard. So it's super personal.
