Can anyone tell me if Cardboards are still up and running?

I heard from a supplier in safety bay they shut shop last year.... I'm glad I have my Freeride and tempo already but would also like a smaller tempo (if not I'll look at xenon laluz or north Jaime) as an overpowered boosting board.

Then I saw on seabreeze a cardboard design competition and am now unsure as to whether they are in or are not in production. I googled them and couldn't find they're main website.....

Does anybody know for sure or have a URL or phone number to find these guys? I love the tempo, and 2 would be even better than 1!!

I believe they sold to an OS kiteboard company last year and the factory has been relocated, Dubai maybe?? I received an email some time back but cannot find the details... I think the name was changed also... Sorry for being a bit sketchy with the details.

Some explanation here: bit of a shame really they were/are great boards.... Unfortunately in my case I kept breaking them... But kept buying them they were that good.

Interesting that when you google sugar skull kite boards you get some hits stating sugar skull kiteboards from Australia... Maybe that sells better than Dubai??

Thank you very much....

I love my tempo, and would like another in a smaller size for riding overpowered....

I also have a FR, but am interested to hear what people think of the fx....does it pop well? Does it land smoothly and does it hold a mean edge before boosting in both flat and choppy water?

Thanks so much, I will look at sugar skull and found the 2014 catalog :-)

And I have also broken the footpads....I think the board is tough but cabrinha hydra footstraps have been superb....

Had a free ride some time back which was great on flat water but really bad for spray in the eyes. Found I had to put the foot straps closer together to stop the spray which just felt wrong. Only reason I got rid of the board in the end. Changed it to an Underground Stix a few years back which was like putting on an old pair of shoes, comfortable and does everything perfectly..
