Is that supposed to be a Seabreeze green arrow?

Does the green arrow mean that the board is only good in 18+ knots of wind ?

If you made it ?? well done looks great!! However if you paid $650-700 for it... well they saw you coming ..
How about a little info on construction and how many hours and what possessed you to put that silly grip tape on it ??

Wow,tough crowd.
All them that are skilled enough to make their own kiteboards,or have been shaping boards their whole life, put your hands up.
Hey Ron,looks sexy.
Is the green arrow so you remember which way it goes
I bet if it had a big slingshot sticker and Ben wilson had it in his hands,,all the sheep would be saying "wow,cool board"

I dont think you will have to wait long to ride it, the winds looking more summer like for all this week.I reakon there is a slight chance it may even get strong enough late this arvo down at 3rd head.

Bit of swell around too so it will put the new toy to the test.

^^ Yeah black + sun = all-tho will be fine while its in the water. Why worry where the straps go, just take them off & wax it up!

RayQ...thanks....had a few black boards....yeah they get hot if left lying around...I tend to get to the beach, do my thing and bail...board goes straight back into the car...only sees the sun when it's in the water...also, we have trees that produce shade over here mate

backflip.....if only....I tried stapless a few times...I felt uncomfortable....very tentative if you know what I mean....maybe down the track I will pesevere with it...kudos to the stapless crew though.

I think the black looks good! Shouldn't matter if you take care of the board...
