Brand new, i dunno when it was made but it was definately a new one with the grab rail cutouts, 12mm core, new bottom graphic and the grey straps etc... unused WT137... I didnt weigh the board but compared it to mine (which weighs more than 2.2kgs) and the underground was definately heavier, but muc...

After bagging, fill the pinholes and the texture from the peelply (you should have minimal anyway if you get your process sorted) with "surfboard filler resin", its a thicker clear polyester resin. If you use thin resin or paint etc, the pinholes still come through, there has to be a decent surface ...

Just viewed the latest underground boards... They are much lighter than previous agreed, but they are no where near the weights listed by kitepower, the WT 137 complete was around 3kgs all standard fittings. They are also much thinner, looks like 12mm core thickness, and they are much more flexible ...

Yah man, many experience kiters say what he said^^^ I will also add that the X2 doesnt move around AT ALL, its like rock solid compared with the X3 which tends to wobble a bit somtimes (remember the x3 jellyfishing threads on here???) the kite doesnt jellyfish it just kinda wobbles and feels loose.....

Thats wouldn't make sense, as you'd only have a tiny 2-3 knot wind range where you can handlepass fully powered, so you'd need every friggen size pumped up on the beach ready to go! Nah you have to be able to depower the kite and trimmed so its producing the right amount of power, otherwise you'd u...

They all do it, when you depower them more they jelly more... SO, they have a very narrow wind range in which they dont jellyfish, which is at full power... V4 was a flop, the distributers are replaceing v4`s with x4`s when they arrive if you complain about the jellyfishing, if you deal with a respe...

The x2 still is the best kite from naish EVER...

AHHH these leiboys are really kind of fundamentalistic! Most of Leikiters havent even tried a recent foil. The other way round, I dont know any foil-kiter that had never tried Lei. No, I dont want to change your opinion :-) Nice, if you found the kites that fits to you. I kite with the kites that f...
