Joke
The Joke is a high performance allround board that was designed by us to deliver a no-compromise tool for all the riders who really go for it.
Providing the demanding kiteboarder with a blend of high performance and ease of use no matter their riding style: charging in the flats, dancing in the chops, hitting the sliders, or even carving the waves - was our goal. All of this was made possible because of the unique construction of The Joke.
This enables every rider to go big in absolutely all conditions while amazingly comfortable and forgiving landings assure the rider's safety and comfort. The combination of performance characteristics that includes: insane stability and spray free chop water riding, superb upwind ability, massive pop and fluid turns, together with its sporty but friendly character makes the Joke a perfect board for every rider.
This model will definitely be pro's number one twintip choice, but with The Joke you absolutely don't have to be a pro to be stoked and feel like one. No matter the level, all you need is your will to perform. It is that simple.The Joke rides incredibly smooth in all conditions and handles pretty much everything. It is a very durable high performance board that was developed by the entire Wainman Hawaii team. Our goal was to develop the ultimate allround twintip with lots of joy delivered back to the rider. Its’ special characteristics are the result of blending many technical features that altogether make the Joke an unmatched twintip.
This bottom combination provides the most wanted kiteboard features in just one board, a feat that has not been achieved before. No more compromising anything – you can bite hard with the rail and still displace the water super softly and land even the most poorly executed moves on your board instead of your face.
The results of the unique bottom shape are some of the most advanced riding features. Riders can ride finless, spinning freely on surfaces, and sliding well on obstacles. To be performed only at the sole responsibility of the rider.
The thick rail that is rounded in the center and sharper by the tips, makes of the board press more water from underneath it. This provides the good low end and helps in gaining powerful pop.
As the result of slightly stiffer feel of the board, The Joke has great powerful spring and superb pop from the rail, while controlled softness still provides enough of the shock and gust absorption appreciated much in the water environment. That together with the 3D bottom shape results in the unmatched feel and great landing forgiveness of this board.
The Joke series is made of 4 proportionally scaled shapes. Despite that we made sure that each single size version is made differently inside. Each size is individually custom constructed in order to minimize the weight and maximize the performance.
This board, due to its superb riding characteristics, handles water super gently and enables you choose your size slightly bigger comparing to what you would normally use. As a result of this principle, you can gain more power from your board while still holding and controlling it very well.130 x 39.5 - this size is made for the smallest riders: kids and lighter females who prefer the straps and pads.
134 x 40.5 - this size would be the all round choice for lighter male riders for both pads or bindings, or can be used by kids or lighter female riders as the light wind board or with bindings. This size should be their first choice when demoing the Joke for the first time.
138 x 41.5 - this is the most popular size, great all round board for average size male riders in all conditions. This size handles overpowered conditions extremely well and still has lots of low end for lighter day and the first choice for testing the Joke Series for male riders.
142 x 42.5 - the biggest of Joke boards. It works great for bigger riders in all conditions and as a wakeboard with bindings for medium size male riders or light wind performance. This is a great all round board for them as well.
