Do they still have the trailing edge battens?

Great thread! Here's my input. Some preliminary information: I weigh 55kg (very light weight) and I surf mainly in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, where wind is quite light and almost never goes over 15 kts. Primary style of riding: Freeride Board/Foil setup: Flysurfer/Flydoor4 and Radical4, Airush/Sector V3 K...

Tribal, f*ck yeah!

I'll never be able to look at a towel in the same way again.

Also the Flysurfer Flydoor.

I just purchased (used) a v3, 160x44, and I'm very happy with it. No idea about the latest version (v4) though.

As soon as I get my hands (and feet) on it, I will post my impressions.

TPink, I will try and get the measurements you need. Just 3 weeks to wait!

Hi Mike!

This is the kite I used, I don't honestly know if it's a prototype - I can ask.

Thank you so much for the answers, this will help me a lot in deciding which board to buy!
