Thanks BigR.

Super Aggressive rocker, but with the outline and oliptical concave its screams upwind.....(or its predicessor did) hhoping it will be similar but better.

Nice boards!!! What was the construction? Balsa core? Carbon fiber?

Perhaps Rick can create a new forum for board/kite construction.

I just finished my fifth board (122 x 46) and tested it yesterday. Balsa core with fiberglass/epoxy. It was not that good in the chop as it has very little rocker. But at least it did not break with some fairly hard landings. As it held up I may ask a friend to add the graphics since I'm not that artistic.

Thats A nice Board Too. Mine is Constructed of Divincell H80 Foam And Fiber Glass. I have found that With a good outline and Bottom Shape you can achieve really good upwind ability(with alot of Rocker) and The board eats thru chop. My board has almost 2" of rocker. But goes upwind Like a champ.
