A wicked board with 2 years warranty.

Has anybody else ridden one? Feedback?

Found a straight leg one!! Matching colours just a coincidence!! I've done a review on this board before. It grips so well, rides fast and is stiff enough in the center as well As Square enough on the tips some great load and pop. It's relatively light to, but not as light as the carbon boards. Suites me anyway. Really tight rails, far more than the earlier models. But not as soft a ride.

How very observant of you!! I have the back lines shortened by a knot, hence all four lines are not equal.

This allows me a good bar throw position to bounce off when the wind is near the big girls low end, hence I then trim as the wind changes.


In this case the winds were getting near 16/17 knots on a kite that has a projected wind range of 7-19 knots! And I'm only 75kg on a 135 by 41.


This way I can adjust how much leeway I have before stalling it....I like to be right on the edge of that....

Plus the kite normally is ridden with a high Y, but I prefer the low Y on it, however this gives you less bar throw before the stall...

Well my 2013 which is in the hands of one of the crew I kite with hasn't shown any delam' issues. Been ridden hell of a lot. 2014 too early to say I suppose.

I just want to see Andy on a Chrono and yes, a review would be ideal too.
