Lieuwe Shotgun Air Kiteboard

Faster, higher, and more performance from Lieuwe

Since 2013, the Lieuwe Shotgun has been one of the most reliable and high-quality kiteboards on the market. For 2026, Lieuwe introduces a new version of this kiteboard, lighter, with more grip and improved big air performance. The Lieuwe Shotgun Air Kiteboard. This board is designed for the intermediate rider who is ready to move beyond simply riding back and forth and wants to focus on big air. More jumps, more height, and more speed.

What makes this kiteboard unique is the combination of comfort and performance. Compared to the classic Shotgun, the Shotgun Air features a tighter outline, angled fins, extra channels in the tips, and a stiffer flex. This makes the board feel more direct and responsive when building pressure for a jump. At the same time, it retains enough flex to absorb chop and keep your session comfortable. The outline of the board is slightly straighter, which results in more speed and better edge hold.

The bottom shape of the Shotgun Air features a single concave with channels towards the tips, 6 instead of 4 on the original Shotgun. Including a rail channel, this gives your board more grip in the middle when riding heelside. This shaping provides a balance of speed and control. The channels help you cut through chop with stability and give you extra grip exactly when you need it, during takeoff. This is where you will really notice how the board helps you jump higher with ease. It makes the Air ideal for your first serious jumps. You keep the comfort and forgiveness of the original Shotgun, thanks to its comfortable Ultralight 3D Wood-Core construction, while gaining the ability to boost more easily.

Are you just starting out and looking for a reliable and comfortable board? Then choose the original Shotgun. Are you an experienced big air rider going huge in extreme conditions? Then go for the Brute or Falcon, depending on your needs. Are you somewhere in between and looking for a kiteboard that is still forgiving but with a clear big air focus? Then the Shotgun Air is your perfect match. The Shotgun Air has been tested in Dutch chop and the conditions of Cape Town. Lieuwe tests each kiteboard for over 18 months. Whether you are riding your local spot in strong winds or chasing a new height record on your kite trip, the Shotgun Air gives you the tools to make it happen, while keeping the comfort you need.

The Shotgun Air is also available as a custom board. Choose your own deck colour for a completely personal look. Interested? Send an email to info@kitemana.com.
