Hey ho, friend found this board over a year ago (among other things) after couple of stormy days, nobody looking for this board.
I am beginner and i am in phase where i am trying to stay on a board, got some cheap old crap (141x37,5).
I measured CF, its about 132x40,5 cm. I googled, looks like 2011/12 model.
My friend going on vacation in a few days and he will give it away very cheap.
Waiting for 1st wind to try it but no luck. I hope i get some wind before he goes away.
So.... Should i buy? Suggestions? It will maybe work for my beginner freeriding? (i read reviews but i always like to hear opinions from fellow kiters)
I am 70 kg, 175 cm, currently using only switchblade 12m in about 11-18 kts, small chops nothing serious.
Cheers
VIC

Its probably a little small for you but not by much e.g.my 55kg wife rides a 128cm.
Switchblade has oodles of power which should make up for it.
Mixed reviews on the Raptor as many people loving it as there are hating it. I havent tried so i cant speak from experience.
Why not try it for a few sessions first if it belongs to your mate and see what you think?
