You never know. SSE usually picks up with the heat of the day.
Maybe we'll get lucky around noon?

Hey Scott,
I'm looking for a SS Glide to add to my selection...do you know anyone who may be selling or would you be able to PM a price to me for a new board?

Free shipping. There are 2 left in the shop (at least on Friday that was the case)

I have one that I just bought two weeks ago. I might sell it for 490 once the custom UGs come in (light wind weapons with Extreme Kites logo at one tip and slightly different UG graphics than usual)
Those boards are due to arrive on Monday or Tuesday and should slightly outperform the Glide (on paper, anyway... we will see)

Another board to consider is this one. Free shipping on it as well.

It doesn't have quite the low end of the Glide, but is pretty good.

I took the crappy pic and did the write up on it.
What is your largest board right now? (152 UG?)

whats the diff with the MC and the new ones????

Skyway Scott 08-20-2006 11:29 AM

The Magic carpet is going to get smoked by the new one :shock: Exaggerating, but it should be better. The proto was better than the MC, it seemed, and a few changes were made which should make it even better. Who knows, maybe it will sink!

We will know by next Saturday (one day of 11 knot wind is all we will need to compare them)

I will get one (I hope) out here for a demo soon thru Daryl.
It is going to be hard to beat the Glide in ultra light winds, but beating it in the the "ease of use" category once it picks up to all of 13 while "tying it" in low end is the goal of this new UG.

I have been riding the Glide alot in the last couple of weeks and have actually learned to like it. Not much choice in 12 knots with 2 knot current but to ride a Glide. Still, I have learned to like it. It definitely smokes upwind in light winds better than most boards :D
