Hiya
Does anyone have Firewire connections? I have been trying to get in contact with them via their web contact form as well as their Facebook page but have had no response... Hoping that someone has a means to demo a board in Tarifa, Spain (or a European dealer contact otherwise as I may be traveling around)?
Ideally I need to get a new board before June so that I can travel with something a lot easier/smaller than my current 5'8" pain in the ass! Have heard great things about Firewire boards so wondered if it might be the board for me but would like a demo 1st (as I am not as advanced as the guys I know riding them)...

Just get a vader or vanguard. You are not going to be disappointed.

The Guys from
http://www.united-ocean-sports.de always have stock of Firewire Kitesurfboards, but a trial around tarifa would be difficult. I know that they to ship boards all.over Europe.
Maybe I can you something about the different boards if you tell me your skills, weight...

I know they are awesome boards, but I am fairly new to strapless riding so I need to make sure I can handle it first before I buy anything... hence the need to try and really I don't want to ever make such a big purchase without knowing how it feels
Thanks though
Maybe I will just wait until I am next in Cape Town

Just like that, without even knowing what kind of board he is looking for...
