skywalker d wave
 
has anybody tried one, or even seen one before, are they any good for a light wind board?

bryanleighty 12-28-2006 03:27 PM

skywalker has the skimboard and the wave board.. both look very similar in my opinion..

but they have the T wave .. and that looks like my next board purchase.. should be a great board for gulf riding..

I've got my Mako for waves...I'm more looking forward to Dimitri's Eclipse kites, more specifically the Thruster!!! It truly is a hybrid C kite with a bridle as opposed to the flatter hybrids. Dimitri tells me that it boosts HUGE and has the pull of a C kite with the depower and ease of relaunch of a bow. Looks pretty cool, I bet all manufacturers start to make hybrid C kites! The C kite is already making a comeback!!! The bar looks incredible too, super safe!!!

I have video of the Eclipse Nano, Chameleon and Thruster as well as video of the bar demonstration while Dimitri rides with Dimitri as a narrator, explaining how easy and safe this bar is to use. If anyone would like me to e-mail them these videos, let me know. My personal e-mail is tobywilson@hotmail.com I tried to post them but they are in an "invalid format".

Donna got the "biggie" Skywalker yesterday.
Oh, don't swim in a swarm of scared bait!! Especially mullet. Anyone remember the guy who dove in on the school here off his dock?

Congrats on Donna's, ( or is it Scott's? ) , New board!:D

ahh ya.. here comes the skywalkers!

scott did you get it thru dimitri direct or thru extreme?

Skyway Scott 12-29-2006 07:42 PM

Hmmmm... guess. :cool:

Skyway Scott 01-03-2007 09:45 AM

I got that board for Donna.
It is too big for her. Her ankles started to hurt riding it.
I rode it all day yesterday. I liked it, but I don't need two big boards.

Gary, do you still want it? I pm'd you twice with no response.
If not, no worries. I just wanted to give you first dibs if you were interested.

Big G 01-03-2007 01:10 PM

My PM's are not working for some reason. I have not gotten either PM and I've sent several that have gone unanswered.

Anyway, I no longer have your number but if you can give me a call with the total, I can then get with you. My number is 813-624-3876.

Skyway Scott 01-03-2007 01:54 PM

Gary,
I just got your PM. Did you get mine? :p
(Hey, what's up with the pink smiley? It doesn't look like that on the menu!)

Big G 01-03-2007 04:12 PM

Yepp,
Just picked-up you PM. They are not notifying me that one is waiting so I just have to check my mail. Let me know where to meet. That price is good.
Gary

inferno 01-03-2007 04:20 PM

ill give 20 more then what gary's offering :)

toby wilson 01-03-2007 04:25 PM

I'll give $0.50 more than what Danny is offering.

inferno 01-03-2007 04:38 PM

ill setup and put away your kite gear for the next month :)

toby wilson 01-03-2007 04:48 PM

The kite bitch wins! New nickname, no more DP Danny...now its KB Danny!!!:p

Skyway Scott 01-03-2007 06:17 PM

Wow, that is SO nice of you guys. Gary is such a nice guy, that he said he would gladly pay 900 for the board (even though they only retail for 599). I couldn't believe he thought my price was good!

I will meet you tomorrow morning at the SW, Toby.
920 bucks and 50 cents buys alot of McD's combos, thanks! :p

toby wilson 01-03-2007 06:43 PM

:confused: You want $920.50 over $920 and a kite bitch??? What is wrong with you??!!?!!?:confused:

Skyway Scott 01-03-2007 07:07 PM

I like pumping up my kites :rolleyes:
Seriously though, Gary got first dibs. Maybe he will demo it?
It screams upwind and feels comfy. It's just WAY too big for the Donster.

bryanleighty 01-03-2007 09:43 PM

ill sell mine for 920.50 and KB.

hehe..

ya.. I am not shopping for anything now for a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time. Dan and I now have 4 Waroo's .. 4 boards.. 3 bars.. drysuits (thank you Santa!) and a ton of extra crap..

If I ever get another board, I would consider something specifically for gulf riding .. but for now I am DONE beyond keeping up the current quiver.

Really hoping I dont need to spend a dime on kite gear for a year or more.
