Shotgun Kiteboard

The Lieuwe Shotgun Kiteboard is a versatile freeride and big air board for riders who want comfort, control and plenty of room to progress. The Shotgun is one of Lieuwe’s most iconic models and is known for combining a comfortable board feel with the grip and pop you need when you want to take your jumps and tricks to the next level.

The board is a strong choice for beginners and early intermediate riders who want a kiteboard that is easy to ride while still offering room for progression. While more aggressive boards often require high speed and precise technique, the Lieuwe Shotgun feels more forgiving and playful without compromising performance. This makes it ideal for freeride, cruising, hooked tricks and your first serious steps towards big air.

The medium rocker and relatively flexible construction provide a smooth and comfortable feel on the water. The board absorbs chop and uneven water, allowing you to ride longer sessions with more control and less strain on your legs. At the same time, the tip channels provide extra edge grip when loading up for a jump, helping you hold your edge, build power and achieve a more controlled takeoff.

The Lieuwe Shotgun is built with a single concave bottom, which helps create stable water flow, good speed and easy upwind performance. This means the board feels both efficient and predictable when cruising, holding your line or working on your first higher jumps. The anti-spray shaped tips reduce water spray in your face, giving you a more comfortable ride in chop and stronger conditions.

The construction consists of a strong paulownia wood core, fiberglass construction, ABS rails and durable inserts. The board is handmade in the Netherlands and built to handle many hours on the water, hard progression and repeated landings. It can also be ridden with boots if you want a more locked-in and direct feel.

If you are looking for a comfortable, durable and progression-friendly kiteboard for freeride and big air, the Lieuwe Shotgun is an excellent choice. It is the board for riders who want one strong all-round solution that works for relaxed sessions as well as more ambitious progression on the water.
