BJW: LF kites have no swivel which lower costs and keep things simple.. It only takes a few minutes to attach one anywayz.. Besides, ya should learn all ya moves fakie/ switch aswell as regular/ goofy, that way the lines will untwist for ya.
Tried the new KAOS board (a 139x42) yesterday. OMG, feauturing a pants tightening, red stained timber top with decals, this board makes me wet. By far one of the sexiest boards ive come across. (Hey Padi, can ya post some saucy full page spreads of the Kaos).
Not only does this board look the goods, it feels as awesome to ride.
I was a bit sceptical of the rather square nose and tail for fear of the usual blinding spray that results in choppy conditions.. This board did not have any
Maybe this was due to the very thin rails and soft continous flex profile; aswell as the taperred tip and tail. For quite a large board in size, i was impressed by how small it felt to ride...
The multiple concave base really sucked this baby down on the water, and edged upwind like a board should. Because of the wind dwindling arvo yesterday, i didnt have a chance to really test its release and pop apart from a few launches off the choppy swell, which felt very similar to the influence board.
In summary, The LF Kaos board is a freestylers delight in flat to choppy conditions. Its responsive while still having a medium amount of flex to feel exactly whats going on underneath it.
Super stoked i had the pleasure to caress and ride her
