I was surfing ikitesurf and saw a pop-up for kittyhawk and their 5 knot solution.

I've never tried one of those types of boards, but they look fun. I wonder how hard it'd be, especially with a kite.

looks cool for speed/carving....but probably can't ollie...

personally I would like both...something wide and stable for carving with wide trucks, and a normal kicktail with twin-tip so you can ollie, etc......

sorry jake, no kicker yet...
I've drawn out the plans but now just need to do it.
My bro and I could have used it today at the airport, even though the wind
was pretty crazy!!!
Pics coming soon.


i'm fine with a regular board, and would prefer to spend my $548 on camera gear instead.
Also I doubt i could do my (on ground) kl handlepasses with that board.
