This the first speed board we designed in May 08 (now our boards are a lot narrower and the rocker, rails and outline have been tuned and made quite an evolution). John Amundson shaped the speed needles for us and we are slowly crawling out of the dark on what the boards need to do for us.
Through our testing we are learning what needs to work to make the whole kitesurf package stable enough to keep the power connected to the water. Since then we made 7 more boards and tested about 20 fins.... to arrive at a world record speed. Not at liberty to post dimensions of boards right now.....
