The Levitaz Transformer is a modern 5´1” waveboard combined with a kitefoil interface.
It is built with well-balanced volume and a radical design for high speeds, powerful
manoeuvres, and narrow turns. The Levitaz Transformer proves reactivity, speed, and
board control in knee- to head-high waves. In foil mode you will feel the familiar
surfboard feeling which allows you to progress fast with foiling.
