This the 171 and was the larger of the LF forks...I was always in fear of a swimmer popping up in front of me and getting all forked up! The boards actually went upwind pretty well...After the forks I switched to the Hana Crew boards until 05 I started riding Slingshot and Underground boards...Amazing how the directionals have returned to be popular...If the forks come back someday I would be suprised...Here is a picture of a unique homemade board that showed up on Lauderdale beach years ago....I call it the "TANK" This was unbeleiveable, and with a rescue paddle!!!.. I wonder if Leo is still kitesurfing today..Leo , are you out there???
