There is already a 5-0 Sweet Potato in the kite line. Its being sold by North as the Nugget. Its super fun in small onshore waves.

Would you paddle surf this board? I have a sweet potato 5'2 that I really like (I never tried it with a kite though).

Rode the Nugget and it really is a lot of fun. Strapless it was even more fun I must say. For me at 92 kgs it could be a tad bigger though. So a 5.2 Sweet Potato would be nice

one more vote for more sizes in the range. Like someone already said, you have a decent range of shapes, but the sizes are super limited. A 5'10 hellfire would have me pretty interested, or a 5'10 of the lost stealth or sub scorcher.

what i think is what u have listed are all great but what is needed is the model u already make for someone else it is a fairly flat 5.6 fish 20 inches wide and in the real lite winds and small waves it rocks i am sure u know what board i mean. by the way i want to tell u u guys make awsome boards with awsome quality.

Is there a 5'10" Hellfire coming? Any updates on new boards in the kite lineup?

Just coming back from a trip with a 6' kitesurf board, I wish it had been a 6'4" or so.
When the wind was down, and there were still some 2-3 footers, I just couldn't surf the 6' board, at 82kg I need a little more.
When I caught a wave on the 6' board, I sank too fast...
So a kite-tough 6'4" to 6'6" would be nice...
