Thanks for the info... I mainly use the twin tip for freeride and jumping. I love the old raptors for freeride and jumping. They pop really well and construction is awesome. The old raptors do not go upwind really well but I didn't care since I mainly ride them very powered. From a flex perspective,...
As a longtime owner of a few raptor pro models, all 132x41, I am looking to upgrade and realized that the 2016 raptor model has a new outline/shape, and by the looks of it, a new construction method. For many years the raptor did not seem to change until this year. I am all for change, but wondering...
BM... you can do it... you are so close to making 200 posts in 30 days... probably the most amazing part of this ridiculous thread. I am glad I can do my part to keep it at the top of the forum list

Great pop, easy on the landings, just an all around great freeride board that I would highly recommend. Great build quality as well. Had one for probably aroun...
I ran into Felix a couple of months ago with Switch kites and firewire at mokuleia and he was testing one. I think they may add to the kite lineup. maybe a dedicated strapless model with just beefed up glassing. He said he loved it and was super stoked on it. I never rode it but just put it under my...
All I can say is that if the wind on Oahu does not pick up soon Taut may go crazy and load up this forum with a bunch of esoteric topics, using this forum as therapy... I feel your pain man... I am going crazy as well. wind, where are you?
