Inserts run straight down the centre line of the board, so straps could be set up symmetrically if you wanted. The space craft rides pretty much like a twintip with a slight directional bias - the other LF hippy sticks might work better if you're after more of an old school mutant experience.

I picked up an el stubbo with a 70(?)cm mast last year. It was 2nd hand so didn't get any option on mast length. So far I've had maybe 15 sessions, if the water is flattish I can make maybe 25% of my gybes in one direction and 5% in the other. To be honest I don't currently feel that the shorter mas...

Do people chose brands? Just buy the kit that works for you - the manufacturer is largely irrelevant.

I went to Ambergris Caye a few years ago during new year. Was only there for several days and the following could be out of date but this is what my initial impressions were: - Kiting around San Pedro on your own will be difficult - the accessible bits of beach on the East side of the island have a ...

Was I talking to you?

You replied to my posts so the implication would be yes, you were. Or is that not how conversation works in Cumbuco?

You bought into a hype created by the industry and have no firsthand experience of the sport. Just typists and wet dreamers! I never mentio...
