– I am quite surprised by how smooth my new kiteboard is, seems to cut right thru the chop, others were complaining about the chop and I never even noticed it. The Venturi channels seem to make a big difference in holding on my bottom turns and accelerating out of the turn, it’s noticeable. The board is very stable and smooth and yet still “flickable” to hit swell tops and snap around. Had a couple of 6m days and one 4m day with good swell so far-this board rocks! Thanks Art! Like it so much I ordered a new surfboard too! – Heather –
