For the sake of all that is decent in the world I kinda hope the user name Staceyk47 isn't just another in your quiver of user names.

That would truly make you kiteboarding's saddest little troll.

Not light. 8 lbs. Same as a skate. Skate/skim are generally dedicated strapless set ups. Swing weight is more important than overall weight. Short is agile.

I started on a 6' 1" board that weighs the same. The skim is 3' 7" and it makes all the difference in the world.

I sealed my mast and also ride fresh water. It has a double thick deck pad so floats well, but is still quite low profile in the water. Black would be hard to spot in certain conditions. I rarely lose track of the board anymore, but at one stage when first learning to get clear on crashes, it was ni...

Wellllllll, not really, A domino player would be truly unbiased. You are highly personally invested in one particular niche.

It took another season or so to realize its not quite how I imagined it. Cold water does weird things to the wind here and normal patterns don't...

Thats pretty sick with stubby little SUPs. The first time that has looked like its not completely handicapped by swing weight. Lotta bouncing. Glad I have a kite to do the work. I hear what your saying too Peter. Can crank the foil over harder with a bit more strut. Will be interesting to see where ...
