fully paid for myself

previous boards, airush switch 160, delta ac tt, delta mutant
used others including switch pro, compacts, chubby variants, flx 132

looks - very nice, black, foot pads, grab handle included, finish is as good as anything
feels - light, strong
rides - used in under and over powered (sunday on 12m neme board not the limiting factor then!), flat & surf (contacio + cott)
comments - ducks nutts this board, everything i could wish for, holds the juice, turns well, jumps exceptionally well, upwind very good too
omho better than flx, a bit narrower = better when over powered and a bit stiffer (girls like that, so i'm told!)

downsides-scratches a bit easy (but no different to flx), car wax the go apparently,, couldn't get it off my brother until he bought his own

YEH HEARD SOME GOOD WORDS BOUT THESE BOARDS
THEY LOOK GOOD BUT, BLACK????


STILL IF U WANT A BOARD THAT CAN HANDLE THE SCRATCHES, GO FOR LIQUID FORCE. BOUT THE SAME PRICE AND THEY DONT HAVE A PAINTED FINISH THAT SCRATCHES OFF AFTER 2 SESSIONS.

shamless pimping there caution.. but caution you should do a bit of research. Petes latest boards do not have a painted finish. tough arse curv (plastic skins) + they are designed and made local and match it price wise...

scratch ya later

I've lost a bright yellow all over board before, in the River! I don't think colour has anything to do with it being easier to see. (Not in my experience anyway!)

Pete's boards rock big time...

Way to go pete...

I dont ride the new ones, however everyone that I have spoken to love's them, they look the bomb...

If you've never dropped your kite, your not trying hard enough !
To hear your knee go POP ruins a kite trip !
Sucide leash's and onshore conditions are a interesting combination !

Yeah when I think about it I DO have a thing for losing yellow boards.
