UNIVERSAL FIT
Compatible with every board and binding. Edging is the key to power and control in kiteboarding, so we had to make sure this upgrade is accessible for everyone, regardless of brand or riding style.
If you have troubles with your board and you experience compatibility issues, please send detailed photos and a description to support@way-watersports.com, and we will assist you in finding a solution.
The RISER‑PAD is installed underneath the binding on a twintip board. Detailed installation instructions are included in the packaging.
RISER-PADS have been used in winter sports for decades. We’ve adapted the concept and redesigned it specifically for kitesurfing—delivering clear benefits without the usual drawbacks. The only question left is: Why did it take so long for someone to come up with it?
Allows for smooth and easy upshifts for when things get going.
Just grab the loop and pull.
For downshifts push the lever - even while riding.
You care about your board and so do we. An abrasion resistant protection sticker is included to prevent any wear marks from shifting on the board.
(The sticker might eventually wear out over time, or you may change your board - we offer cheap replacement online.)
Built for real condition. The open channel design allows sand and debris to flush out naturally while riding.
For a quick clean, simply rinse with a hose.
For best performance, shift while on the water.
Structurally stiff under compression for a direct and precise feel.
Your binding provides the cushioning — we add performance.
Intentionally flexible along the rocker line to preserve natural flex without creating stress concentrations.
Skiing, snowboarding, running, ice skating, and weightlifting — riser pads and wedges have long been used across a wide range of sports.
We have now optimized this proven concept specifically for the biomechanics of kiteboarding.
By moving the most common ankle position into a more anatomically favorable range of motion, the RISER‑PAD enables maximum edge angles that simply weren’t possible before.
This noticeably reduces strain and fatigue on joints and muscles, allowing for longer sessions without feeling tired or in pain.
Designed, produced, and assembled with passion in Vienna, Austria.
We focus on maximum quality, minimal waste, and short supply chains.
The RISER‑PAD and its packaging are fully recyclable — please help us close the loop.

The PORTAL-FIN and the RISE-PAD were designed with each other in mind. Combined, they reveal the full picture.
Together, they launch you to the moon.
HOW THEY INTERACT:
POWER
RISE puts your board hard on edge to transfer the pull of the kite into power and forward drive. Only the extreme angles and profiles of the PORTAL-FINS can provide the upwind pull that amplifies line tension even further.
CONTROL
RISE lets you set your board at the perfect angle for precise maneuvers, while the PORTAL-FINS give you full control when you’re going too fast, too big, too extreme. The only limit is your own bravery.
TURNS
PORTAL-FINS ensure your tail never slips out, while RISE gives you the ability to crank the board into ultra-responsive turns—or load up for a pop that feels superhuman.
UPWIND
Precisely engineered hydrofoils under the water, combined with the ideal body position on the board, let you fly upwind—past all your friends, with no mercy.
ENDURANCE
The large sweet spot of the PORTAL-FINS and the stable stance provided by RISE keep your lower body relaxed, so you can go for hilariously long sessions without fatigue.
