The Xenon La Luz 2012 is a true high-performance freestyle board designed for the modern style of kiteboarding. The combination of big rocker, deep concave, variable flex and wide tip/tail area result in lively, responsive board with direct feel and no loss at comfort of riding. It is obvious that Laluz basic parameters of pop, speed, and upwind ability are outstanding, but the way it lands makes everybody score more tricks than ever before.

Good, but not perfect

I demoed this board for about 1 hour in less than perfect conditions. Loads and pops well, easy landings, fair performance in chop, doesn't ride upwind as well as other boards in its class. Top notch build quality and finish.

Would definitely considering buying one if I was in the market for a new board.
