Two questions:
#1. In the second picture there appears to be a yellow/green link that is in the water - is that Mixwell? If so, that is pretty funny because after he went to lyle he came out to SI and he spent a lot of time with his kite in the water because the wind died.
#2. Where is Lyle and is there a wind sensor on ikitesurf.com?

Not Mixwell... Jeff, Ken, Tucker, and Tim were the ones ridin' in the Klickitat! Too bad Amery's ribs are fuck'd, otherwise he'd be showing everyone up!

Kataku, so is the lunacy selling to the public now, how did you like the board? Is it the usual Misfit construction or snowboard style construction?
Also, in the first picture, is that a T2? It has a great shape in the air.
Cheers
Andy

I didn't get a chance to ride it the other day, but I do know Jeff likes it! And as far as info on the board, you should probably talk Amery or someone directly from SS about that (don't know what "info" they want out). Lastly, yup, that's Tucker on his T2 7m. That color scheme looks super clean, and it does those loops soooo nice!

Cool man thanks! I am an SS dealer here, and have not heard any official news that´s why i thought it was weird to see pictures of what seems like a production board being used by normal riders, but i now see it was SS staff ! I love seeing all the pictures on this forum, you have amazing scenery!

Most of the sequences I took were from a bad angle for layering, but this one layered pretty well.

| I was watching those kiteloops and thought they were pretty weak. Kiteloops, especially big ones on bow kites, just don't pull you too far downwind. Get a c kite and do some real ones. I'm not dissing, just trying to give some positive criticism.

Come on now... Tucker was the only one loopin' on a true bow, and it's not like he was "pinwheel" turning the kite. He was still getting hucked pretty good. If you don't think that's going downwind, then I'd love to see what you can do with a C. Then onto Jeff, do those kites look like bows?

I'm pretty sure the only size the lunacy will come in is 129x39, i think; can't wait to get my hands on one.

That IS Josh Solbach and if I'm not correct he won Da Bridge KL Contest last year, so yeah he can throw some big ones, unhooked with a nose grab. Not stepin' on your steez but hooked in F-16's are easy, even my girlfriend can do them.

Looks like Tak is surveying the Lyle hillside for a LZ, Crazy.
