... wow, they look nice. I've been looking around to put different fins in my Sector 60, and now I see they are coming out with them, cool!

looks interesting . Still loving my sector 60 v2

They look HOT & lots of fun

i found damo from airborne humping his newly arrived monaro v4 yesterday when i popped into the shop .

The new graphics look ****ing sexy . The board itself looked pretty damn nice . Can't wait to test run the v3's , especially as i love my v2 60

Put it down Damo

Are the V3's in yet?

These boards are just for light wind racing right? Can you jump them?

Nice Vid

No need to watch the vid Eppo just get yourself a sector it'll go well with your new Peter Lynn kite

Question o learned one: can you give me an example of the extra wind range this board gives you. Same kite, same rider, in sub say 16 knots.??

for me it's the difference between not going out in sub 15 knots on my twinny to be able to be out on my 13.5 obsession mkIII in 10 knots, going upwind and trucking along having a blast . This season for example it has given me probably an extra 20-30 sessions on the water .

Jumping is tempting and fun but can damage the board quickly from hard landings...

had no issues so far jumping . mind you not massive ones on my sector but as long as your floating down i see no issue with strength

The V2 60 was what was cruising up and down at Kitestock while the rest of us were sitting on the beach.

he just had to rub it in

Yep know exactly what you are saying. In Mandurah you double it triple that number of days where it sits 12 to 15 and not just enough. Maybe subculture was right get a sector rather than a bigger kite.

If you were going second hand what model would you get. Ie have they improved over the years and what model is adequate.

Sector for me, for a few reasons eppo. The way I see it is:
I'd rather spend half the money (well, bit more than half) on a Sector than a huge kite.
I'd rather swap a board on the beach than pump up a smaller kite when wind picks up. (and pack down the 'big' kite - or hope it doesn't blow away or flog its trailing edge to death sitting on beach)
I'd rather be working a 'smaller' kite till I get apparent wind than park and (yawn) ride. (maybe that's the ADHD in me )
From a safety point of view (just thought of this) I guess the bigger boards have a degree of flotation (over a twin tip) so if worst came to worst and wind totally died, I could pack down & paddle my embarrased ass back to safety
But that's just my take on it.

Word is the V3's are improved again over the V2's and I've no reason to doubt that. It's early days for these boards so there is bound to be rapid evolution. If the V3 54 gets going early enough it looks like heaps of fun. Comes standard with swept tri fin setup; less weed catching than the bigger blades (bonus!) and obviously looser being a tri.
60 is still quad and will go in a sparrow fart apparently.
66 - I guess that's a mozzie fart then

There's always compromise in everything, with the Sectors, you'll sacrifice manoeuvrability as your light wind ability improves.
Take all my thoughts/advice with a pinch of salt, just my 2c

I have a sector 60 eppo that is just sitting there collecting dust. Not sure what your ankle problem is but the only reason I am not using it is it hurts my front ankle as the race boards are a pretty awkward stance when your going fast. Mind you I can't ride a twin tip or use straps on my surfboard either without my ankle ballooning up.
