Anyone have an RRD K-Free or Airush Sector 54 (or similar)?
There's some beer in if for you if you have a free-race style board I can briefly lay my eyeballs on. (Just want to take a boo at the rails/foil/fin placement and make sure I'm not too far off base with my plans for a project). I'm in the planning stage of the next board I'm shaping, and have most ...

For beginner(ish) friendly spots on the island as far as I'm aware: IV & SP (see previous posts above) Gordons - Sort of, I'd only say if you plan on doing a downwinder to the beach the end of Otter Point Rd, I know the currents can get going pretty good out there too. I'm not 100% sold on it (could ...

^As someone who's just got their first real season under their belt I'll second what OTLunch has to say. The current can haul past IV pretty quickly, and on the days when the shore break is more manageable at IV (lighter winds), the winds seem to be flukey (I've only made a couple big kite attempts ...

The fuller shape of a fish makes gybing easier (from all the reading on it i've done), and their rocker profiles tend to be more similar to kiteboards than a typical shortboard is. That being said I don't know how much of a difference those factors will make with a kite hauling you vs paddling :p If ...

If I'm still here I will be there! Last one was fun :D MoonUW has good beer, used to be good food, its gone downhill in my opinion. Might vary depending on who's in the back I guess. Old thread, I know. Just thought I'd respond to this post up/let you guys know that as of this fall The Moon Under ...

if you're doing a kite mount (strapping it to the strut) I don't really see how that would be an issue (you'd have to destroy your kite for it to hit something hard enough to break). (I just picked up a Kodak zx5 to play with for a kite mount for 1/4 of the price of a gopro) That being said, for now ...
