RIDE.
A MASTERPIECE.
Don’t compromise. Ride the freeride board that set the standard all others are measured against. Because, sooner or later, you will appreciate the workmanship, technology, performance and soul that goes into every handmade Imperator 6 Edition.
 
INDIVIDUAL.
JUST LIKE YOU.
Cannot find your size in the Imperator 6 Edition? Then order an Imperator 6 Custom in your preferred dimensions. Talk to the experts at Carved Customs and let their master craftsmen build you a forever board. A truly custom board with your very own size, stance, finish, color, logo and more.
 
FLUID DYNAMICS.
PERFECTED.
Meet the board that would make Bernoulli and Coanda proud. A board that masters fluid dynamics to smooth out unruly chop, carve stylish turns, and inspire.
 
PRECISION.
CRAFTSMANSHIP.
Under the exclusive Cartan carbon fiber, you will find a heart of solid, CNC milled, Paulownia wood. Known by boat builders as the finest nautical wood available, it resists decay and has superb flex characteristics.
 
PEERLESS.
PERFORMANCE.
The signature Imperator soul is alive and well in the new 6. Its powerful yet comfortable character is confidence inspiring even in tough, choppy conditions. Peerless performance derived, in part, from its new hull features.
 
ELLIPTICAL.
PERFECTION.
The distinctive and highly effective Imperator Ellipse continues in the 6th generation. The Ellipse channels forces to the fins and edges when warranted and absorbs the rest. For more pop and comfort.
 
A MASTERPIECE.
OF PASSION.
The sunny Baltic island of Fehmarn, a mecca for kite boarders, has been the home of Carved Customs since 2001. No Imperator leaves this German island without a nod from its master craftsmen.
 
RAZOR.
SHARP.
Custom fins for every board. Because every board is custom. Our fins are so finely tuned to each board that we could not in good conscience share fins. Razor G10 fins. For fun or freestyle.
