Bayflite,

I have heard that before, and it is possible that I installed them wrong. I will definately give them one more chance as I too think they are excellent for days like today.

I can't resist. This isn't an EK pimp.
Buy your GJ from anyone but them.
I just think this is funny. ;)

I was checking out Gulfster.com just now and there is a headline KITEBOARD FOUND ON REDINGTON BEACH EMAIL WITH DETAILS with a link on the home page. So if you lost a board u might want to check it out and email those guys, and maybe your baby can get returned to its daddy

Chad disregard PM. More than likely Tiff's board.

Scott:

its actually a 5- 9 x 18 x 2.125 quad fin squash tail setup


it is an upwind machine, on waves is very slashy / turny, yet the quad fins
really hold the edge extremely well

I was on a 9m which was slightly overpowered for the directional but the 132 custom twintip could easily hold that much power or more. I suspect it was 25 gusting a little more.

I'm used to 3 straps but I think I can easily adjust to 2 straps ( mostly gybe , switch feet ). I think most people would just go toeside.

Comparing it to the flat rocker thin railed 5-5 directional I would ride before, I would say much more fun! more upwind, WAY MORE SURFBOARD LIKE! it gets thru any whitewater or faces easy and accelerates straight downwind ( this is important ) onto a wave without stalling.

Need some more wave time on it to really comment on it compared to the 132 TT I normally go in waves with, I think the possibillties are there.........

I was gifted it from here

http://www.northpacificsurfboards.com/surfb_kite.shtml

seems like alotta people in the Gorge are using these from what I saw over there

I think it might even be more fun strapless, I'll try that next

Damn straight, I did the same thing Scott. Installed it wrong and the plastic attachment piece broke. Bayflite, I still need to get a new piece if you have any or can get any from O/R. Go-Joe's are GREAT on a day like today tho!!!

Here's one of Alex and Josh perfecting their "tow at's". Many more will follow on the website in a couple days. LOTS of editing needed b/c of the haziness and crappy back-lighting. I'll see what i can do...
