Lieuwe Shotgun Air Twintip Kiteboard | Big Air Performance Kite Board

The Lieuwe Shotgun Air is designed for riders who want to push their big air progression without losing the comfort and ease of use that makes everyday sessions enjoyable. It builds on the trusted feel of the original Shotgun, adding more speed, more grip and a more direct response on the water.

This is a twintip that helps you ride more powered, hold your edge more confidently and load up harder for bigger take-offs. At the same time, it still keeps enough comfort and forgiveness to stay manageable in rougher conditions, making it a strong option for riders who want performance without stepping into something overly aggressive.

Who It’s For

The Lieuwe Shotgun Air is best suited to riders who want:

• A performance twintip for big air progression
• More grip and control when riding powered
• A faster, more direct board that still feels comfortable in chop
• A board that helps bridge the gap between freeride and more aggressive boosting

It will suit intermediate to advanced riders best, especially those looking to improve jump height, edging confidence and high-speed control.

Key Features

Refined outline for more speed

The updated outline helps the board generate and carry speed more efficiently. In real terms, that means less effort to build momentum and more energy available when it’s time to send a jump.

Added channels for extra grip

The additional channels improve tracking and edge hold, giving the board a more locked-in feel through take-off. This added grip also helps when landing with speed, especially in choppy or unsettled water.

Slightly stiffer flex for direct response

Compared to a softer freeride board, the Shotgun Air delivers a more immediate connection underfoot. It feels sharper and more responsive, which helps when loading the edge and riding powered.

Angled fins for controlled big air riding

The angled fin setup adds another layer of grip and control. This helps you hold your line with more confidence and gives the board a more planted feel during both take-off and landing.

Comfort that still matters

Although it is tuned more toward performance, the Shotgun Air keeps enough forgiveness to smooth out chop and reduce fatigue through longer sessions. That balance is what makes it such a practical progression board.

Real-World Feel

On the water, the Lieuwe Shotgun Air feels fast, planted and predictable. It gives you more bite through the edge than a standard freeride twintip, but it does not feel so stiff or technical that it becomes hard work in everyday conditions.

For riders stepping into bigger jumps, that extra grip and direct response make a real difference. The board helps you stay composed when powered up, and it gives you the confidence to hold your edge longer before take-off. Landings also feel more controlled thanks to the combination of channels, fins and balanced flex.

Compared with a softer, more beginner-focused twintip, the Shotgun Air feels more performance-led. Compared with a full-on competition big air board, it remains more forgiving and more versatile for regular sessions.

Fit / Setup Notes

• Best suited to riders looking for a big air focused twintip with freeride usability
• Works well for powered riding, stronger wind sessions and riders wanting more edge control
• The slightly stiffer feel will reward solid technique, but it is still accessible enough for progressing intermediate riders
• If you like a very soft, loose and playful board, this may feel more locked-in and performance-oriented

Why We Stock It

We like the Lieuwe Shotgun Air because it offers a smart step forward for riders who want to jump higher and ride harder without moving straight onto an unforgiving specialist board. It keeps the comfort that makes sessions enjoyable, but adds the speed, grip and response that help real progression happen.

That balance is what stands out. It is not just built to sound high performance on paper — it gives riders something they can actually feel and use on the water.
