funny - looks just like a door Yeah, it looks like a Door from 6 years ago. Pretty old outline. We changed that one ages ago as together with the right amount of stiffness it produced too much spray and not enough control when the wind picked up. :thumb: Anyway copy-cat designs are always the best ...

We currently use Paulownia Wood Cores on our boards. What is extremely important is the way the woodstrips are put together. Ours have jaggered ends, almost like zig-zag which makes an extremely good bond between each segment when glued together. This makes the core more pricey to produce but ultima...

Just to help you on the sizes. The 2009 Doors come in two version. High Tech and Fun Tech. The Fun Tech Door comes in size 160-44 The High Tech Doors come in size 159-45 and 164-50 In previous years there was also a Door 154-42 but we didn't produce this size for 2009.

Wind range is amazing and jumps huge. ............................................. Jesus, do you EVER stop pimping Sven? My post was "sarcastic" as th...

Hi Guys, Let me just say something to the "Q"s wind range. I personally weight 76kg and I am riding custom made RLboard 130x40. I have Q 12m and 9m. I tested both kites in wind 11-30kn. Test location Island Ruegen Northern Germany Rosengarten. Measured with Windmaster 2. First day wind was slowly p...

Hi Klaus, I think you are confusing yourself more and more. The HT-RIP39 does not need any special way of riding it or to go upwind. My best tip is to get in touch with Spleene Germany and see where they have the next demo. Then you can try the board and make your own judgement. Forums and/or rider ...

Can you post more tests from boards and kites from that issue??? Unfortunately I only have these two pages myself which the Kitemagazine kindly mailed to me. Understandibly they don't want their complete test to be published before the Magazine hits the shelfs. Otherwise who will buy the Magazine. ...

If you are a looking for a Lightwind Freestyle board then maybe take a look at this review.
