I have one on order, it should be here within the next few days and ready to ride during our next front. Anyone who wants to try it is more than welcome...I am stoked!!! This board is gonna ROCK!

wow, its not even 35cm wide :shock:
toby, you sure about that board???
thats narrow

toby wilson 10-18-2006 04:18 PM

Read the reviews my friend. The feedback on the board is pretty consistent...

inferno 10-18-2006 04:26 PM

all the reviews in the world dont change the fact that its only 13.582677165 inches wide and your 250lbs, no offense

toby wilson 10-18-2006 04:46 PM

No offense taken. But the race conditions we are hoping to have will see the wind honking and the waves rolling. With my 20.5 or 17.5 Machine in the air, I don't forsee any real problems...

This is definitely my most anticipated post. Put up a review soon Toby.

We are getting some of those boards over here soon.

toby wilson 10-18-2006 05:18 PM

Definitely will do. I also have a question posed on the kiteforum thread attached above asking about the weight issue...stay tuned!!! 8)

the best twin tip board I have ever ridden is a 150cm x 35cm or so twintip.

Of course it does have a much better outline than the mako , it was built to be a little flatter rocker and straighter outline with wakestyle capabilities.

it's a 2001 spoiler, its in Hood River right now waiting for my return next summer

I got it's 140 x 34 cm cousin right here, it rocks!

Skyway Scott 10-18-2006 06:06 PM

I just read the Kiteforum thread Toby. We only ordered the shorter/wider version of the Mako, mainly because of the amount of wind necessary for the 150. I still want to see someone ride that tho.

We also just ordered a pair of 24cm wide trick skis. They are gonna kick butt in the inlet on those 25 plus days :twisted:

toby wilson 10-18-2006 06:13 PM

Well if the board is not big enough for me (I still think it will be tho), then it will be for Amber and I'll just get the shorter, wider one for myself or I could just go on a diet :lol: . No big issue. Point is, these boards are gonna ROCK!!!
