Same advice: The Kontacts are fast, are not bothered by chop and won't loose the edge at high speed bottom turns. You can even use them for speed-crossing races when it's blowing strong. Being fast and carvy, they are also perfect for strapped big air. I had a 5'10" Kontact from 2010 or 2011 then I...

I have had for 3-4 years a Newind split TT Waves and I strongly recommand that board for travelling. However now, on my home spot I use most of the time a su...
actually it's not that bad. In July and August you have many days over 15 knots. The typical thermals come from WSW and they increase towards the evening. In that sense it's an ideal place to take the family, where you can spend a nice day at the beach with the kids and then have a late afternoon s...
