Lightwind board?

I have been trying to contact you to see if you got the Kite from Rich yet. He was going to give it to me to hand off to you but I was already out on the water when he left. He said he gave it to another kiter from Tampa named Chris too.

That was a great combination to ride that in the keys. I might use for the race.

Yeah. He gave it to a relatively new rider I met at EB about a month ago.
He is named Chris, too, like you know.
Okay, no worries.
Was the kite any good?

I am just curious.

Amazing kite. I would not recommend it for a noob. It has very light bar pressure so a beginner will constantly be looking the kite to see where its at, but i think they all do that no matter what kite they are on. I was guilty of that when I started out. I was amazed with it's turning speed and the low end. Not a bad kite at all. I didn't get a chance to look at its construction to see how durable it is.

Thanks. I would think it's made bomber. I was interested in how it flew, Rich seemed pumped on them.

I have ridden the new Skywalker lightwind board, and other than the board being hideous in color, it is an amazing light wind board! I weigh almost as much as you, and I can ride that Skywalker and the 10M Era in 9kts. I recently picked up an Aggression Superphatty can do the same. A new Skywalker is much easier on the wallet. (I just got lucky and got the used SP from Scott).

I love my Jimmy Lewis Flightdeck. I'm 6'3" and 215lbs and can ride it with a 16M SB2 in 12mph. Of course it doesn't have as cool of a name as WindRyder's Superphatty!!

I own the ozone edge 13m. It is built to last. Love the saftey system. Took me a while to figure out also. Once I figured out that I was being pulled at warp speed from the harness even though I had no pressure on the bar I started to fly it with a very light touch and it really started to shine. Super fun kite. Very fast, mega high jumper, like kiting with power steering. Not a beginer kite. Mine is blue and white, Scott if you see me out on it introduce your self and take it for a pass down the speed strip. Maybe we could swap for a short session, I would like to try the RYL just to see what it's all about.
