Why no use an old windsurfer hull? I've seen the guys ar REAL kiteboarding use them in pictures. They would seem to be ok. a little narrow, but hey, all more for the excitement!

Anyway, sounds like you guys are having some sweet fun up there! I'd come up for a race or two, and a C kite to bring some old school back. 8)

Upside down ocean kayaks make for the best rails and kickers! They can take that abuse all day long!

I think we should take all the old wood from those Hatian Boats @ Yamacraw, and make them into a slider. The mast is already there, and you know its strong... Now getting it to Blue Hill will be intresting, but lots of free wood....

A bunch of plans for various sliders appear at:

If those Haitian smack masts are hefty and straight enough you could just take one and anchor it in the shallows away from navigation areas - Instant slider.
