No its not. It is identical to one of CJ hobgoods (spelling)? boards.
yea i posted the same thing about a year ago. I am going to take mine to Chris Garret. He makes the best tow board on the gold coast. This is for real tow ins. He has a crew that hits giant tasy and jaws. it would be intersting to see what he has to say. I will post the response.
Thing is, it has the weight but it feels sort of loose. It all depends on what your planning. I am 90kg but i still want to put full deck grip on and take it for a paddle.
I would be so wrapped if it turned out good for it. Two birds with one stone

I am wondering if it is going to be to floaty to use kiting with straps off. It has amazing floatation i can get out and ride waves it really light winds. How have you found it so far.
