Fresh for 2010, DVNT presents the Quest 135, an explosive all-rounder built ultra-tough and bristling with the latest lamination technology. At first glance, the Quest's wake/freestyle inspired outline, flat bottom and understated rocker shout light-wind machine, but there's much more to offer. Under the scratch-proof sublimated 'space pirates' graphics lies a multi-laminated flawless paulownia core. The strength of this eco-friendly wood is reinforced with carbon top and bottom and fully wrapped with triaxial glass, a dvnt exclusive design feature that delivers unmatched torsional rigidity and powerful flex on demand. ABS sidewalls and tips complete the extremely durable construction and rounded rails give a user-friendly soft ride.
The Quest 135 x 40 is the ideal 'one board solution' for most 70-90 kilo riders in real world conditions, but feels best in moderate to high wind flat-water freestyle conditions. It is blindingly fast and has a very positive release from the water when pop is demanded. Overall, this board is a gimmick-free, good-looking, smooth riding design that will go the distance.
New Zealand designer, DVNT is no newcomer to the game and has a proven track record creating kiteboards since 2001. The Quest is shipped as a bare deck allowing customisation of fins and straps. Stainless 6mm inserts allow three different stance options from narrow to wake/freestyle wide. Fly DVNT!
