^ That is cool man! Seems easy enough! Thanks for sharing!

I'm excited to try out an 11m 2014 RPM for sure! It's supposed to be the money size!

I don't think there were any major changes to the kite other than the graphics. The 2014 bar is different from the 2013 bar though.

What do you want to know? From what I've seen it looks like an awesome all around board that you can use with boots or pads & straps. Squared off tip and tail that are tucked in a bit. Some channels and features on the base of the board. First reports are coming in and people are stoked!

Hey guys, The problem is that there is some sticky-back tape that is creeping out into the interior of the batten pocket. I recommend getting some sort of wooden dowel or a long screwdriver, basically something that you can use that won't tear your canopy material, to push through the pocket to sort...

You can proper surf a 6'1 Tyrant but it might be a little narrow for you if you aren't a good surfer. I don't think either of these boards are really made for crappy surf conditions that you are describing though. The Tyrant excels in bigger, better surf conditions in my opinion. I've had a lot of f...

Hey man. I wouldn't trade a 14m RPM for a 14m Rally if you wanted to get upwind a hell of a lot better. The Rally will get upwind better than an RPM, but I think it wouldn't really be something you would notice that much of a difference to make a 1:1 size trade for. If you already have a nice RPM, j...
