Just as a followup, this issue has been taken care of for Sam regarding his warranty. I think he can concur that the issue was resolved!

Happy kiting.

You should check out the new 5'8" Dominator by Firewire. The board is insane for surfing as well as kiting. THe new boards scheduled to arrive in a few weeks!

It is a very easy board to surf. It has a lot of volume, making it a perfect board for bigger than average guys.

Sam, Please contact FW through the website directly. FW has been on top of every warranty related issue to date whether it be a surfboard or kiteboard. You shouldn't be going through the local shop with the warranty as they are the middle man. Shoot me a PM or go through the official FW site. Firewi...

The best board I've owned, and I've owned a pile of boards. I did have to add deck glassing to slow down the heel dents. Worth the hassle though. I ride i...

I've pounded it for a year and it's still holding up fine with no repairs needed yet. Also, what's truly amazing about these boards is the flex. The bo...

I assume that the new 5'8 is replacing it, right? By the way, the extrem lightness of the older version was sometimes a concern in high wind...

Firewirekite, can you give us much more detail on how you beefed up the boards for kiting - over your first version of the "kite" board construction. Did you add more layers of glass, different kind of glass, thicker layers of glass, etc? Are you using Carbon glass, or some other super strong glass...
