Very, very different boards. Hadlow is much stiffer, way more rocker, and more bottom shape. The Laluz is a great all rounder, Hadlow is a much more aggressive, focused board.
Try them both if you can.
can you be more specific please? thanks
Have you tried the hadlow pro? differences? thank you
The Hadlow Pro is still very flexible?? Great board in the chop. Good upwind, pops well, carves awesome. Good width for a decent bottom end. The fins make it a bit loose and beginners may find that a little tricky??
The Laluz also seems to be a cracker from the reviews. I haven't ridden the Laluz, but I picked one up and they are LIGHT, bit squarer outline than the Hadlow. So a bit easier to get up and going, but wouldn't carve as easy as the Hadlow.
Purely based on shape I would say the Hadlow is just in front for unhooked specific riding and the Laluz takes the prize for best all round board.
cheers mate ![]()
Hi mate,
i really depends for what you want to use the board/what conditions you will be riding in.
The laluz will be better for choppy conditions as it has heaps of flex and is super light/responsive so you will get more pop than out of a stiffer board.
The Hadlow will be better in smooth, flat water especially if you put bindings on it.
If you like the Xenon boards then check out the infra which is the dedicated 3D shape xenon which is stiffer with more rocker like Hadlow Pro.
hope that helps
I think one of the differences of the two boards is that you cant use boots on hadlow, while you can on the laluz 132?
Is that fact or conjecture? I know you can speak for the brands you sell but kitescoop is full of stories of boards being replaced under warranty.
Cabrinha, slingshot, liquid force, and best will all replace their wake style boards if broken while riding boots from what I'm told. This is a bit of a tightrope though. For example, liquid force boards come with a notice in the warranty that says they will only cover you if ridden with LF boots.
Best thing is to ask before you buy I suppose.
If you explain what sort or riding you do it would help because the two boards are as it has been said totally different. Do you do freestyle or free ride. Do you hit sliders, do you kite in the surf. How long have you been kiting for. I ride at 87kg a Laluz as i like to just free ride and the conditions around my area get fairly choppy so this board suits these conditions perfectly but the hadlow pro wouldnt suit me because i dont do freestyle. Ask yourself the same question and then demo everything you can get your hands on as you might find something totally different you like.
