Guys if you want a hot shot. Try the new Advance Kaiman3 15m. In my opinion the ultimate Light Wind tool with a lowind perormance as the Speed3 15m Deluxe.
The greek guy in the San Francisco Bay has them available for a testride;-)

For me I would like to test the new Brunotti Youro Zoon Pro 2010

And this little Lightwind Beast here from cyclon-kiteboards.de , but will be difficult to get in the U.S.

Yes, wind was not to strong, but ok if you have lightwind gear;-)

You can find more information about the spots at www.kitebeaches.com.

Rental car is no problem. Infrastructure is like in the U.S

Found some locals, or good spots and weather sites allready?
Thanks
Jay

In the video above, what is he riding? Is it North Vegas or Rebel 14m?
Where can I get the board?

Have the similar problem, Not convinced so far, that just driving around in 10kt is fun. But anyway with your weight I would definately go for 14m. Because you need the extra lift to start doing big airs in 20mph. You`ll love it

Does it really make fun? Tried a 16m and Spleene Door recently but it sucked. Felt like a train driving left to right. What do you think, is it really starting to make fun even without doing big airs or freestyle tricks? Can`t imagine so many guys like to ride with this big rectangle 160cm piece of ...
