I'm looking for light wind board and noticed this light wind video on web. Looks impressive for such low wind.



On advert of this Glider board there of course is bunch of only good words: www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151599678399299&set=a.10150292215219299.357114.38543214298&type=1&theater

Has someone tried this light wind kiteboard and can tell is it really so good?

I've got a 2014 Z-series... construction is top notch on the Aboards.

At that size, I'm sure it'll be like my Flydoor - upwind is awesome.

Check the weight though... I think my Z-series 140x42.5 is a bit on the heavy side - 4.1kg all equipped. I need to weigh the Flydoor... I think it's lighter

Are you open to alternatives? Don't want give an option if you are set on the a boards ? Let us know as I'm using a ripper at the moment and super light.

Forgive me for being cynical / suspicious.

5 days ago noobie posts ad for Aboards in kitesurfing general with a misleading thread title.
Gets a negative reaction.
www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/General/What-brightens-up-your-day/

5 days later noobie posts ad for Aboards in the Reviews section. Video and image link all nicely formatted up.
Again asks a question rather than plugs the product directly, trying the oblique 'get the conversation going' approach.

This reeks of an internet marketing campaign to me...

Airush sectors are good in light wind....in sub 10 knots when there is no chance of boosting I have had so much fun learning how to jibe

Also if you read that language carefully it sounds like English is a 2nd language to me.
Read it out loud to yourself! (my mind adds the accent automagically)
Definitely not "Roger from WA", sounds european which co-incidentally the boards are.
