Had a Cardboard sold it and bought a Liquid Force Element - way better IMHO - get a demo before you part with your hard earned readies

Yeah..I was almost about to order a cardboard, but found an element 128 which was local..saved some moolah also
(Sorry cardboard guys)

Plus being a beginer, it gave me a chance to return it if its not what im looking for..

Im terms of looks: Cardboards look awesome, and the footpads look pretty big and comfy too..

I thinks --> Shop and support local, exceptions are if you know exactly what your getting and cant obtain it locally.

New carboards 130 and 137 wake are cardboards answer to the element. if anyone on the sunshine coast (noosa area) wants to try a 130 let me know as i have a demo model.

Oh and Cardboards are 100% Australian

Yep, have to agree.....I love mine to bits. I've ridden an FLX and it was stiff as a plank.....not very nice at all.

Flx stiff? I dont think so.

You get the best reviews by asking someone at the beach, that way you know they aren't coming from someone with an arrangement to plug something.

scotties jap cartoon porn graphics are the best transformation of hours spent on the net to kiteboard translation.
i'm sure he just looks at the board when he's riding.
last week he changed kite and couldn,t jump at all.
yelling 'how do you jump on this'

I just got my Cardboard 133, tried it for the first time in 20ish knots it rocked. These are the boards to get onto if your after a new board. Plus the after sales service by Dan was great.

Hey, if it sucked, I wouldn't be riding it.....plain and simple. The fact is, it's an awesome board.

Surely not everyone here who's had a good word to say about them can be on Cardboards' payroll can they (which is what I assume you're alluding to)?

look i think the best advice is to try things if you can before you buy, im my opinion different boards suit different people, no one manufacture is the best for everyone, no-one should slag off another just because they dont like it, Flx, Cardboards, LF, SS, M8 etc, all good imo, where i ride everone is on something different, and everyones happy, we swap boards all the time, just to see what something differents like, and ive found some of my mates boards are great, just different, also i think its what you get used to, so dont follow trends, dont follow whats in, just ride something you like, enjoy. Oh and yer i do stuff for cardboards, never hidden that fact, hell im biased, but im not her to convert, slag off just make you aware they exist.

i don't know where you kite but if you believe that you are kidding yourself .
more people than you think have got contracts to pimp brands i know i would do it if it got me new gear evey year .

now that is an honest comment

we are all different shape and sizes and have different styles of riding so why should we all like the same board .

i have been rideing a new flx 128 for the last week and think it is a great board .Storms up wind has great pop nice rails but still would love to try someones 128 or 133 cardbord if possible ?
Also am hereing good things about the new addiction boards and the new jamie pro


FLX stiff try riding my old naish ttpro now that is stiff .

If you would like to try a 133 x 40, I'll be in Geraldton area for a while. Have had it for 2 years now and not looking for anything else. Mine isnt for sale just in case you wanted to buy it.
