Re: Update from Lewis Crathern - Please Help

This whole thread opens up so many cans of worms. When I first read Lewis's request for help my inclination as a man with a heart was to help. I'm feeling bad for his life-changing ordeal and subsequent medical and rehab costs. That he's a fellow kiter comes in to play as well. My 2nd thought was I'...

Any Hatteras locals want to give a road report?

Just wondering if any of you Hatteras locals want to give me a status report on Rt. 12 specifically going in and out of Rodanthe. Wondering how the coastline is doing too? A large crowd of us will be invading town from the 17th-24th so I know it's a ways away...

Re: 2013 Evo 7,9,12 -> 2015 Dice 7,9,12? +general Dice quest

Agree with Strekke! Dice can offer great explosive jumps if timed right in consistent wind. My old 2014 Rally 12m used to ride more loaded up with bigger bar pressure and hands farther away so I'd pull and get a good jump and hang. The Dice doesn't feel so loaded up so you've got to work your board ...

Re: 2013 Evo 7,9,12 -> 2015 Dice 7,9,12? +general Dice quest

I ride the 2015 12m Dice, the 2014 10m and 8m Dice on my 2014 22m line and 24m line bars. My observations are: 1. In light winds clearly the 24m line bar is better on the 10m and 12m. I prefer the 22m bar for the 10m and 8m when the wind is up. I just like the size/width of the 22m bar better. But o...

Re: Extraordinary, unique designed directional board

Why not start your own Tomo Evo thread for such a unique board? I'd say it's unique qualities are that it is not available and customers can only make copies and some company makes them custom...

Re: Bad Lofting In Kentucky

Awesome - thanks for sharing. We have experienced similar conditions on our inland lake and will not mess around with. I remember a couple times seeing some unstable air coming or in another case exiting and same things you describe, abrupt increasing wind, temperature drop, etc. What I did was see ...

Re: Extraordinary, unique designed directional board

I rode the Duke strapless. I tried it with it's standard thruster configuration. So 3… It seems like they are placed far back. In fact I felt the straps would be tough because they are forward of the fins and when I ride my Whip strapped I ride right over the back fin. I imagine with the forward pla...

Re: Extraordinary, unique designed directional board........

I have spent a fair amount of time strapless on this board. I agree with K - it is a locked in feeling, goes fast real well, eats chop like spaghetti for dinner, and provides great stability for all kinds of conditions. I do however ride my back foot way back when I want turning control. If I want t...
