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..

Talking

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?

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.
