My board Lieuwe Falcon 137X40.5, me: - 71 kg (naked, no wetsuit etc), height 175 cm, foot pad position 3. My review on the features that I’m interested in, no particular order: - 1) Comfort - the board doesn’t just ride through chop it glides the term “magic carpet ride” definitely applies to this b...

Common sense prevails. I'm so glad Core did not go the Durex "thinner is better" route as explained by Steven (14.33). We all know what the consequences of a leaking bladder is!!! That's

Thanks for the feedback - with the Elite do you find it rides up at all? Does the ladder lock keep it in place? Also how bulky is it? I checked out the Stealth at a local shop (Vision just outside Stavanger) and I was really impressed with how light and low profile it was but I really want to avoid...

Brill, if only I knew about "bar magic" before this would have saved me a whole heap of time over the year. Many thanks.

Hi Mike, Many thanks for your V3 performance review. I’m not into massive kite loops but like:- big jumps, great hang time, great wind range and a quick turning kite which these new generation of 5 strut kites offer. Very interested in the new bridle configuration which seems to go some way in answe...

Hi everyone, I am trying to choose my first waist harness. I have all my wetsuits in size m and they fit me well. I have ordered two Ride Engine Saber ( S and M ). After trying them I have discovered this differences. S size: + harness is not moving - is not giving me to much lower back support as ...

One of the many photos of what happened to te riders : After opening/closing the harness, it creates a smal crack that quickly enlarge. I was very interested in this harness,...
