Freeride boards with emphasis on speed

Looking for opinions on versatile freeride boards that also feature great top end speed.
I'm wondering what bottom shape will help with this. Thanks

Re: COR electric pump

here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTRLLoCVrPg We still do not see the entire kite. And it is an old kite. So probably they made an extra valve on the tip so they kan fill it there with another type of pump? Great point about using a kite that has a wing tip valve to conceal the possible ...

Re: COR electric pump

Firstly, thanks for that Toby. It does somewhat help.... I still have questions/concerns. * No size of the kite shown (and yes it looked like it had some air in it to start) * Didn't show the pump getting connected to the kite * It had sound, but then at the :59 mark it sounds like a compressor kic...

Re: Courage is calling. North Big Air '23

I do not say it’s useless, just that marketing bs about centering inserts. Slingshot had this for a long time, Naish introduced it three years ago. We ride a lot in the shallows, grinding over sand bars spiked with pieces of seashells. My kite buddy does this a lot and you see the wear on his Monar...

Re: Courage is calling. North Big Air '23

Fliptech Technology 😂 Agree, useless. How common is it to wear out the heel side edge on a board? More importantly offset mounts just make more sense and allow a comfortable stance and foot position with just about any footpad/strap on the market. What am I missing? Why are in-line inserts suddenly...

Re: Upcoming from Ocean Rodeo Aluula 2023

IMHO I think Ocean Rodeo is taking a big chance by positioning itself as an ultra-premium brand. To me the question is how do they best use the new materials and are they going into equally great designs? Just making a kite or wing lighter is not enough.

Re: COR electric pump

Excuse me but I'm skeptical about their claims on number of kites pumped on a charge.
I don't understand the fascination with this pump. Yes it's small okay great. So is this one, any user reviews out there?
