RRD Poison LTD Y27 – Twintip Kiteboard
Description
The RRD Poison LTD Y27 is the ultimate twintip kiteboard for riders oriented towards pure freestyle, big air, and wakestyle. Built with Biaxial Carbon layers on the top and bottom and a CNC-shaped Paulownia wood core, this board is 20% lighter, thinner, and more reactive than standard constructions. The result is an energetic board with explosive pop, superior elastic memory, and soft landings even during the most intense sessions. The LTD construction represents the pinnacle of RRD's twintip range, designed for those who won't compromise on lightness and performance.
Technology – LTD Construction
The Poison LTD uses RRD's LTD construction, based on layers of 220g Biaxial Carbon applied to both the top and bottom of the board, combined with a CNC-shaped Paulownia wood core. This combination ensures lighter, thinner, and more reactive boards, with high memory from the biaxial carbon fibers. The board is packed with energy and offers the most dynamic ride in the range.
LTD Structure – Complete Stack from top to bottom
-
>Top Sheet Deck – protective top surface with dedicated graphics.
>Biaxial Carbon 220g – first layer of biaxial carbon for superior lightness and stiffness.
>Flat Weave Carbon Reinforcements – flat weave carbon reinforcements in areas of maximum torsional stress.
>Torsion Box Biaxial Carbon 220g Patch – central biaxial carbon patch for torsion control and maximum pop.
>ABS Track Channels – ABS channels for precise and stable binding insert attachment.
>ABS Side Wall Rails 5mm – 5mm ABS side wall rails for impact protection and durability.
>CNC Shaped Paulownia Wood Core – CNC milled Paulownia wood core for natural flex, lightness, and elastic memory.
>Biaxial Carbon 220g – bottom layer of biaxial carbon for symmetrical structural closure.
Range of Use – Aptitudes
The Poison LTD Y27 is designed for freestyle and big air at the highest level, with an excellent aptitude for wakestyle. It offers precise carving, powerful pop/unhooked, excellent upwind performance, and high speed. Early planning is not its strong suit, but smooth landing is absolute. It is not the ideal choice for wave riding or sessions exclusively dedicated to freeride.
Disciplines – Usage Range
-
>Freeride: medium – sufficient versatility for mixed sessions, but not the model's focus.
>Freestyle: maximum – absolute strong point, designed for top-level technical tricks and maneuvers.
>Big Air: maximum – explosive pop and soft landings for extreme aerial sessions.
>Wakestyle: very high – stiff and reactive response, ideal for unhooked wakestyle tricks.
>Wave: low – not the primary intended use for this board.
>Light Wind: medium-high – the lightness of the LTD construction aids planing even in reduced wind.
Technical Characteristics – Performance
-
>Flex: high – lively and progressive flex for immediate pop and reactivity.
>Carving: very high – excellent rail grip when turning.
>Pop / Unhooked: very high – powerful and controlled take-off, essential for advanced unhooked tricks.
>Upwind: very high – excellent ability to efficiently ride upwind.
>Speed: very high – high top speed and rail hold.
>Early Planning: medium – normal for a performance board, not optimized for extreme light wind.
>Smooth Landing: maximum – very soft landings thanks to the Paulownia + biaxial carbon combination.
Specs – Sizes and Part Numbers
The Poison LTD Y27 range is available in five sizes, from 39 to 43, to suit different body weights and riding styles. Smaller sizes offer greater maneuverability and reactivity for tricks, while larger sizes add stability and buoyancy. The choice of size depends on the rider's weight, the type of conditions, and the intensity of riding.

Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: Who is the RRD Poison LTD Y27 recommended for?
A: It is recommended for intermediate-advanced and advanced riders who primarily focus on freestyle, big air, and wakestyle. The LTD construction with biaxial carbon and Paulownia makes it the ideal choice for those who want maximum pop, reactivity, and soft landings, without sacrificing lightness.
Q: What is the concrete difference between the LTD construction and a standard one?
A: The LTD construction uses layers of 220g Biaxial Carbon on both the top and bottom, combined with a CNC milled Paulownia wood core and Flat Weave Carbon and Torsion Box reinforcements. The result is a board that is 20% lighter, thinner, and more reactive compared to fiberglass constructions with an EPS core. The high memory of the biaxial carbon fibers translates into more explosive pop and softer, more controlled landings.
Q: How do I choose the right size between 39 and 43?
A: Generally, riders up to 70 kg will find the best balance on sizes 39/40, those between 70 and 85 kg on 41/42, and heavier riders or those seeking more stability can opt for the 43. Riders performing very technical unhooked tricks tend to prefer shorter sizes for more board control during maneuvers.
Q: Is the Poison LTD also good for freeride?
A: It has a good aptitude for freeride but it's not its main focus. Those looking for a board primarily dedicated to freeride or waves will find RRD models more suitable for that use. The Poison LTD performs at its best in freestyle, big air, and wakestyle sessions.
Q: Are landings really soft with this construction?
A: Yes, Smooth Landing is one of the highest scores for this model. The combination of the natural flex of the Paulownia core, the elastic memory of the Biaxial Carbon, and the 5mm ABS Side Wall Rails effectively absorbs landing impacts, reducing stress on joints and making sessions longer and more comfortable.
Q: Does it also work well in light wind?
A: The lightness of the LTD construction helps the board plane earlier than heavier constructions, offering a medium-high range of use even in light wind conditions. However, it is not a board optimized for extreme light wind: in those conditions, wider boards with high early planing are more effective.
Q: Are bindings included with the purchase?
A: The Poison LTD Y27 is sold as a board only. Bindings, pads, and straps are chosen and purchased separately based on personal preferences for comfort, riding style, and foot size.
Q: Is the insert attachment system compatible with all bindings?
A: The board features ABS Track Channels which ensure compatibility with standard market attachment systems. However, it is always recommended to check specific compatibility with the chosen binding at the time of purchase.
