I'm with you puertz love the pimps. Reckon people who whine about them must have weak sales resistance. Probably why they avoid gay bars. Lol.

... tee hee, eppo you funny bugger!

Any one from Airush out there I'd really like your views and advise on this one!

cheers,

Robbie

hey Robbie get in touch with Mike Birt and I think it is s29feb I think on Kiteforum. Both these guys have a wealth of knowledge, especially Mike and he has led me the the right choices this year.

Get one Robbie you know you want to.

Would be ideal for Okka's point I reckon.

Hi Puetz,

I have ridden the Cypher, I think it was the 5'4 though. I surfed on it too, although it was a bit too short. Felt like a pop stick on decent waves, but it worked pretty good on small days like waist to chest high.

Im sure its kiting you care about. Its pretty flat and wide so gets going really early. It has a real skatey feel so would work best in ave onshore chop type of waves. I don't think it would be fantastic in down the line waves, but I didn't ride it in waves like to know for sure.

If you want a board that is easy to tail slide and whip around while not super powered, I think it would work great.

Hope that helps.

Con a ride on Tony's green chop top, I'm pretty sure you will get an ideal of how the Cypher might handle compared to a surfboard.

No doubt the Cypher will get you going quicker than a surfboard (less rocker)
I've had 2 chop tops and didn't have any hassle in chop / cross on. Pretty sure the Cypher will have similar DNA.

Down the line is another story though, surfboards rule.

Great to hear your having fun on SB. I guess there will be a few TT's in the for sale section soon.
