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

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...

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!

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:

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!!!
