Because there is almost never enough wind.

Toooooo much Rocker. Even when compared to wake style kite boards. Most have way way too much. Until its nukin.

I use a 2015 Slingshot Whip. Just follow their weight to board size guide and you are good. It is the same board basically as the Refraction. Ronix Von Vidal works ok too but its a little stiffer. The key is you need a cable specific board that is a little flatter on the rocker line. Cable boards are for the most part faster since the cable runs slower and have more flex for pressing.
