"Light, good size and quality! Super nice to be able to print namn, phone nr or that you like on it as well."
"I already had an older version of this trap handle, but since I have multiple boards, I upgraded the one on my main board and I love it. The size is perfect, it feels super natural in hand, and it matches my Lieuwe board perfectly. Even the screws it came with were the right size. Great comfort, great look, great fit. Highly recommend."
"Hey guys - I have only great things to say about those handles and the person behind them. I have been using them for a while now and its really a game changer. Kiteloop boardoffs and board spins are much easier, the grip is great and for riding its just so much better, especially if you wear a thick wetsuit or seat harness this makes a huge difference. Another thing is customer service. Stas is awesome he really makes sure customers are happy, and makes sure you get what you paid for and more!"

Kiteboard Handle FAQ
Why is a taller kiteboard handle better for board-offs?
Stock kiteboard grab handles sit close to the board, making them hard to reach during board-offs and big air tricks. The Trap Handle is at least 50% taller than most stock handles — your hand finds it naturally without stretching. This gives you more control for flips, throws, catches, and handle passes. It's the best kiteboard handle replacement for riders looking to upgrade from a standard handle.
What kiteboard handle sizes are available?
We offer kiteboard handles from 16cm to 21.5cm to fit all major brands. 16cm fits Slingshot boards. 17cm fits North (2020+) and Cabrinha boards. 18cm fits Duotone, Lieuwe, and North (pre-2020) boards. 20cm fits Reedin, Axis, Eleveight, Core, Carved, and Flysurfer boards. 21.5cm fits Naish boards. If your brand isn't listed, just measure the distance between your board's insert holes.
How do I measure my board?
Measure the distance between the centers of the existing insert holes on your board. Choose the handle size that matches this measurement for a perfect fit.
What's the shipping time?
Orders typically ship within 2-3 business days. US shipping starts at $5 and international starts at $20 depending on quantity. US delivery takes 5-10 business days, international 10-20 business days.
How do I install the handle?
No drilling required! Simply screw the handle into your board's existing inserts using the provided 18mm M6 screws. A TPU spacer is included to prevent scratches and add flex.
What material is the kiteboard handle made from?
Our handles are precision 3D printed from ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate), a professional-grade UV-resistant thermoplastic that withstands sun exposure, saltwater, and impacts far better than standard PETG or PLA plastics used in DIY 3D printed kiteboard handles. ASA won't crack or fade after months of beach use.
Can I get a custom color to match my board?
Yes! We offer custom multicolored handles for $79. Order multicolor directly on the order page.
Do you offer bulk pricing for schools or shops?
Yes. Kite schools and shops can order handles in bulk with custom branding. DM us on Instagram for special pricing on large orders.
How does the Trap Handle compare to stock kiteboard handles?
Stock kiteboard handles from brands like Slingshot, Duotone, North, Cabrinha, and Naish are typically short and generic. The Trap Handle is at least 50% taller, ergonomically shaped, and made from UV-resistant ASA that outlasts standard plastic. It also includes free custom engraving — your name, phone number, or any text up to 15 characters. It's the best kiteboard handle upgrade available, designed specifically for board-offs and big air tricks.
