OK board. Doesn't surf the best or kite the best, but a reasonable jack of all trades. Quite handy having a board that can be used for both paddling and kiting, but gets a bit squirrilly when riding in high winds and big chop. I personally prefer other offerings such as the Slingshot SST or Airush Converse. PM me if you are interested in a second hand board. I have one I was thinking about selling with factory inserts and straps.
