I've never ridden it but it's got massive rocker so I'd expect it to be pretty power hungry. Try searching on Kitescoop. There are a few people riding it.

Very nice board for it's intent, heaps of rocker, nice flex through the tips for pressing rails, strong construction. Flat top deck with 6'' insert spread.
Problems: there were only 5 available in Australia. Need lots of power to comfortably generate top end board speed, a characteristic of most dedicated wake style boards.
The 2012 release will be available in October, so I suggest checking with your best dealer on demos.

why would a wakestyle board needs lots of power?
A correctly chosen wakestyle boardsize is a good size, if not 2 sizes bigger than a normal kiteboard. So efficiency loss is down to a minimum or no loss at all.

Yeh sure you should go bigger than usual and probably shouldn't have stated it as a "problem". Just making comment on the fact that more power is needed regardless of size compared to the likes of a freestyle board like a Balance board or the Amarda for instance.
Incredible looking line up for 2012, the profanity's graphics look insane. Hopefully we get wind here in Sicily this week so we can try them out.
