Extreme Kites Kiteboarding

You guys get any in yet?? Looking for a good light wind placebo replacement...and wondering if this could be it...

It is funny that you ask, because I have been staring one all morning thinking that it looks like a pretty fun summer board for around here. Here are some pics off Slingshot's website and a video:

Nice...good timing...heading to South Florida Wed thru Sun for work/play...so, maybe I'll stop by before I go and check them out... so, did they come with the kiting(bigger fins), or the small wake style fins?

They come with the smaller wake style fins. You can put future style quad fins in there for a surfboard and tighten it up a little bit. It is designed for wake surfing, but seems like it would work well with a kite?

picking up the board tomorrow morning to demo it....hopefully we get some wind! I'll post something once I get to try it out.....

Tried the board down in South Florida on some 9m - 11m conditions. Long story short, I don't like the board with the fins it comes wiith. The fins are basically the size of twin tip fins...there is really no grip to them, or the board. If you lay into a bottom turn, everything slips out...starts to do a 360. I was hoping for more of a board that had the light wind feel of a skimboard, but still had some grip and bite for turns. They say you can use larger surf fins with it, so I'd like to try that before I totally give up on it....
