Aaron Smith from Underground kiteboards hard at work in his office testing the 08 FLX boards.
Amazing spray and volume of water being pushed, no doubt the boards have edge and bite power to the extreme!!
Cya and
Goodwinds

Lets have a competition to see the biggest spary anyone has done.
Post a picture of you or someone you know of. Sending a huge spray on flat water or busting through the lip of a wave..
or for some of us falling out of the sky
That is a decent volume of water being pushed. His board seems about halfway below sea level. The other picture looks like a little water from the top. The guy on the underground is moving a hell of a lot of water there. Looks cool.

Its true the biga da spray = da biga da feet

Quoting Steve from his speed week thread
"On the Saturday afternoon, in mid low tide, on the inner channel closest to the eastern shore where you drive onto the sand spit, I was hitting some serious speed, the water flying off my board was landing a good 30 feet behind me. I was lying almost parallel to the water, 12M SB3, 132 x 39 Underground FLX, 40mm fins, and from my previous experience in going fast in buggies and on the water I was doing high 30's to 40+ knots.
The rooster tails thrown off my board were noticed by a lot of people, but I was a long way downwind from all the other sailboarders and in a different chanel."
I'm pretty sure that your spray must have been as impressive, just wish I had a photo of it
That photo of aaron is so good not only showing the depth of drive but also his nonchalant style reminds me of some water i have thrown up on a single ski but really-does anyone recognize the stresses required to drive up 100 litres or more of water.
As a novice I was proud of this spray during a recent session.
The sloth is getting around with his new camera keeping the locals happy with some nice pic's at the moment. Keep it up and cheers.
