Lieuwe have introduced two new boards to complete their Big Air range… let’s take a look!
As we enter our 16th year of Lieuwe, since introducing our first boards in 2010, one thing has remained unchanged.
Our boards are not driven by trends or short-term development cycles. They are built from real feedback , shaped by the riders who use them, and validated over time by the highest level of athletes in the sport. The level of riders within the Big Air game have changed significantly, one board no longer covers it all.
We introduce two new boards:
Hybrid fiber construction built for maximum grip and control, delivering confidence in the most roughest conditions.
The Brute is built with a unique hybrid fiber construction inspired by the aerospace industry. By combining carbon, fiberglass and Kevlar, we’ve created a material that delivers the perfect balance between strength, stiffness and durability. This construction allows the board to stay incredibly stable under load, keeping its rocker and shape consistent even in the most powered conditions. The result is a solid, predictable feel with maximum confidence when riding at speed and pushing your limits.
The Brute is the result of continuous development, shaped by feedback from our customers, ambassadors and team riders. This is the board riders asked for. By fine-tuning the balance between stiffness, channels and outline, we created a board that locks in when it matters most. It delivers unmatched grip, instant response after landings, and full control in the most demanding conditions.
Progressive performance with angled fins, delivering enhanced grip, speed, and control while maintaining comfort in all conditions.
The Shotgun Air builds on everything riders love about the Shotgun, and takes it one step further. It keeps the comfort and smooth ride you expect, but adds more speed, more grip and a more direct feel on the water. This makes it easier to ride powered, hold your edge and progress into bigger jumps with confidence. With its refined outline and added channels, the board feels faster and more controlled, while still staying forgiving enough for everyday sessions.
The Shotgun Air is tuned for riders who want to go bigger, without losing the comfort that helps them progress. The angled fins and increased stiffness give you more grip during take-off and better control when landing at speed. At the same time, the board keeps enough flex to stay smooth in choppy conditions. It’s the perfect balance between performance and forgiveness, giving you the confidence to take the next step into big air.
