I know what you mean with hasseling. I dont care to much about other peoples opineon who never tried to have fun outside the norm.
My bord is a obrien. it is 140cm long and 40 cm wide in the middle. When it picks up to 20 knots it is a bit difficult to stay upwind on a 15 m kite. Have just been for a nice downwinder from shearwater to loders creek
