Greetings,

Unfortunately I terminally injured my custom board -- too many flat
landings -- so I'm soliciting comments for a replacement. It took
four seasons to break it, versus 1 season for my previous production
board.

I haven't tried any production boards in the past few years. Have
they become much more durable? Specifically JP and Naish
wave/freestyle
models around 90 liters and opinions on custom shapes would be welcome.
Is Rutger still manufacturing?

Anybody have a used beginner kite setup available for 215# person ;-)

Thanks.

Chris
