dont waste your money, use vacuum bag and butyle tape. its guaranteed water tight and costs pennies per use. Same stuff for making kiteboards, just cut it to fit. Sony $10 headphones last for months as long as you wash them out with fresh water after you ride and keep them dry: http://tinyurl.com/yr...

maybe not as tough, but /me thinks they are smarter.....

just get a shaper to make you a small board, get it glassed a little thicker over the pads, put some inserts in and save yourself 400 bucks. Elsewise, go to costco, get a board and put some straps on it.

the drop is an insane board, havent ridden a truth bigger than 140, but that one was sick. If I were you though, i would opt for the big lithium if possible, the bottom on that board is just insane. Rumors of a 128 coming out soon! LF is sick, the new harness, footpads/straps, kites. The whole deal ...

I have ridden the LF kites a lot (10 and 12m) on 20m lines, and they work great. I am looking forward to getting the 10 in some waves on the 20s. Havent tried anything shorter, but the LF kites work great at 20m.

great board that anyone would enjoy riding.
