I've got a full kite quiver(8m-17m) so looking for an all-purpose board for the Gorge/Coast. Been riding a 135 but seems a bit small for me. Haven't ridden enough boards to know what's better. Thanks for any help! dcrowe Since 11 Oct 2005 265 Posts hard to say, I was inverted Obsessed Sat Apr 14, 07 7:43 pm     Jimmy Lewis and Amundson are the popular sticks on the central/southern coast: http://www.jimmylewis.com/Production_Kiteboards_page.html http://www.amundsoncustoms.com/Amun_Kiteboards.html Hein's boards look pretty sweet (haven't gotten to ride one yet) and a lot of the gorge folks ride those and would be happy to chime in. (or even the man himself) EdG Since 19 Dec 2005 425 Posts Just a Kook that's Obsessed Sat Apr 14, 07 7:45 pm     Lucky for you, it's demo time!! All the new boards will be on the water. If you can't get a demo, just talk with the local reps/riders. Just bring beers and expect to buy a new board if you loose/break it Hein Since 08 Mar 2005 1314 Posts Possessed Sun Apr 15, 07 6:33 am     $CM Pretty sure Ben Hur was riding a custom.

EdG Since 19 Dec 2005 425 Posts Just a Kook that's Obsessed Sun Apr 15, 07 12:31 pm     I was thinking a Hien board, but I have never ridden one. My skills are not at the level for a custom board. I can barley HOP From all I have heard, there great boards. One day I hope to get one Bugs edit.. I don't even drink barley.
