Airush Converse '07 - wave kiteboard
| The name converse comes from the fact that the board is a surfboard when you take the straps off. Not a surf style kiteboard but a real true surfboard, hence one board for 2 disciplines. The 5'0" board from last year has been shelved - a shame - it was very lively and fantastic fun in small waves if not a little too nervous on the big days. The replacement is the 6'0" is the higher rockered board for those taking it into the real waves the 6'2" is now the lighter wind option for smaller waves and lighter wind use.  Check out the wood... I have seen cobra's wood finish surfboards before and they are stunning - real coffee table works of art. The photo I saw posted n the new from Germany looks the same. They will be very pimpy!! The wood and regular board should be on display at the Poole Windfest, pricing is set to be £449 for the Regular construction and £529 for the wood. The wood is expensive I know, but I've already ordered mine!
