Feels very well made, don't know how they are making a dollar on this board. First ride yesterday and it was perfect.

cool setup
what is the front wing on it?
730 cm² RDB on 647 fuselage which is my favorite freeride wing for last year and a half. Their 1200 cm² lightwind wing mounts onto same fuselage and makes a perfect duo. Guys making those wings are based at Urals and I hope they come back to market after their government gets forcked royally and beyond for the war it started.
The 730 cm² wing is best described by my friend as “590 after winter of porters” - thicker and bigger, and that’s exactly what gives it amazingly wide speed spectrum from lowend through cruising speed till top end.

With these small boards, is it still possible to do the sitting while riding tricks? Or too small?

Mine was on the beach yesterday and a few others had a demo. One guy is into his sit down and did a few runs that way. He said the deck was very grippy, not what he was used to, caught his foot at one point and crashed. So yes, you can still sit on them.

Did anyone already try to fit it into a “standard” max size European suitcase?
Seems most suitcases max out at 81 cm hight to stay within the limits of the airlines.
However, this includes the wheels so you lose a few cm. Placing it diagonally in the suitcase add some space but I wonder if it’s enough. Extremely tight for sure.
I am asking because my airline is not accepting oversized luggage on my flight.
Of course there was/is no way of telling before you book the flight if there is room for oversized things so I am kinda screwed at the moment.
Hoping this board might help me out…

Maybe have a look at the Nobile checkin bag. It is purposely sized to be within the linear measurements of airline size limitations so not classified as oversized baggage. 90x48x20cm Your board would fit along with room for plenty more. I put an armstrong 85cm mast in without issue.
