SU2 Etno
The SU-2 Kiteboards Etno Collection is a series of kiteboards inspired by African design and tradition.

Each board is made of wood and carbon, and measures 450 mm in width and 1480 to 1550 mm in length. Colorful printed patterns recall traditional masks and shields. The graphics are applied by digital printing. The collection was developed in Poland between 2017 and 2019.
