That might be a good idea as a new business model though I will stick with the hard goods for now!

would love to watch a vid/interview with the shaper... ever going to happen?

how is the flex on these boards? i posted a 3rd party surfboard vid on the naish 2010 lineup thread showing a guy jumping on a board lying upside down on a hardwood floor. the board flexed like crazy. most boards would break under that load. i ride mostly 2nd hand gear and have no affiliations..

Ocean waves. On, side and off shore winds, from 10 to 30 knots. I ride rabbits on a Surftech Strech Ratboy 5'10" (borrowed board) :roll:

yeah,, i know. im a fan. i'm surprised JL chose this start-up to shape kiteboards for (no offense to the wainman hawaii crew..). it would be an interesting story to hear explained and of course to hear about how the different shapes, material, and build process choices came about.
