Reedin SnackPack: The Mutant Is Back (and It Rips Harder Than Ever)

Reedin SnackPack: One Board, Two Rides

There's something about standing on the beach, wind in the air, talking gear with your buddies that just feels different. That's exactly where this one started: Jeff catching up with Reedin's Kevin Langeree at the KoGL Test Fest, both vibing on a hybrid kiteboard that doesn't really fit into any one category.

And that's the whole point. The SnackPack isn't here to replace your twintip. It's not trying to take over your surfboard slot either. It's here to fill a gap you didn't realize could be this fun. Do these sessions sound familiar?

You head out on a twintip, boost a jump or two, then just cruise back in and turn around for another run. Or you grab a surfboard, carve some waves, then slog your way back out.

Either one is fun, but what if you could combine them into one wild ride that never stopped delivering the stoke?

A Throwback Idea, Reimagined

Kevin and the Reedin crew wanted a board that lets you:

• Boost off a kicker on the way out
• Turn around and actually ride the wave back in

If this is giving you early-2000s mutant vibes, you're not wrong. But this twintip/surfboard combo isn't a nostalgia piece, though Jeff did appreciate the retro colorway. It's what that idea always wanted to be, now built with modern shaping and materials so you don't have to compromise.

How the SnackPack Actually Rides

The SnackPack runs six fins total (three per end), which is the magic behind its split personality:

• The extra fins give you real grip for bottom turns
• The rail is thicker, so it leans and drives like a surfboard
• But when you edge and load up, it still releases and pops like a twintip

So you're not just getting by in each direction, you're actually riding them properly and having fun.

Out:

• Edge hard
• Load up
• Send it

Back in:

• Drop into a wave
• Carve it clean
• Link turns like you mean it

Built for Fun, Not Rules

This isn't a one-quiver board, but that's not the goal. Kevin even admitted his first session didn't fully click until he took it on a downwinder. Then it all made sense.

It's the board you grab when you want to:

• Ride both the wind and waves
• Turn a simple session into something creative
• Ride swell, boost, carve, and repeat without overthinking it

Downwinders? That's where it really shines. Just connecting bumps, slashing, jumping, and using everything the ocean gives you instead of picking one lane.

Sizing It Right

Sizing is simple and refreshingly intuitive: Go 8–12 cm bigger than your normal twintip.

• Ride a 133 twin? Go 142
• Ride a 136 twin? Go 146

Available sizes:

• 142 cm
• 146 cm
• 150 cm

It keeps that familiar twintip feel underfoot but gives you the extra platform you need for carving and glide.

Details That Make the SnackPack Click

A few things that really round it out:

• Standard 5cm twintip fins make for easy setup and no guesswork
• Bindings let you ride it aggressively and jump with confidence
• Grab rail and handle mean board-offs are absolutely on the table
• Balanced rocker has enough curve to carve while flat enough to edge and send

If you like to experiment with how your board feels, you could mess with fin setups, but it's designed to run all six for a reason. That grip is what makes the surf side come alive.

Who Is This For?

If you love everything the water has to offer, this hybrid kiteboard is worth a look. It's for kitesurfers who:

• Want something to do while searching for your next wave
• Love boosting but hate "dead time" between hits
• Want one board to keep sessions playful

For a lot of riders, this could end up being the most fun-per-session board in the quiver. Not the most specialized or the most technical. Just the one you keep grabbing.

Final Take: Why the SnackPack Exists

This board came from a simple place: make kiting more fun, more often. And it does that by removing the trade-offs we've all just accepted for years. Instead of choosing jumping or carving, outbound or inbound fun, you just do both.
