UNDERGROUND began building leading edge kiteboards in Christchurch, New Zealand in the late 1990's and was perfectly placed to develop specialised boards for a handful of kiteboarding pioneers.
Already well established in the windsurf industry,
Underground proved to be market leaders by moving into the kiteboarding
game right at kick-off. Due to the team's ability to adapt quickly
to the different dynamics of kiteboarding, development of new
construction techniques - and consistent progressive and innovative
design - Underground has prospered.
Our designs and construction methods are developed in conjunction with our manufacturing process. The prototypes we build and test are manufactured in the same way as the final product supplied to customers.
Today Underground boards remain the benchmark and as other manufacturers play catch-up, the crew are hard at work refining the next generation of boards. You'd be surprised how many of the world's best kiteboarders are competing with boards built in the South Island of New Zealand.
