+1 on the Oxygen board. Works great as your lightwind board, but feels like regular sized board. If you are going to get on a big lightwind kite and you want to jump, this board is the tool for that. It may not feel exactly like my 132X41 ride, but it is a hell of a lot closer than any other lightwind specific board I've ever been on. It releases off the water easily and is light on your feet in the air. No other lightwind twintip has felt that way for me before. I like it a lot!!!

Hello Mr. mdksniper I should have the final Chicken Loop in few weeks. Will do some final testing and if I am 100% happy with the CL will go into production. The production will take less then 3 weeks. I am sorry it is taking so long but I want to make sure that we have one of the best CHICKEN LOOP in the market before I release it to the public.
I would have posted this earlier, but had no Internet connection at the cottage. Okay... Here goes. Stop what you are doing and go and buy the Renegade 13 ltd NOW. It is without a doubt the most impressive kite ever. I was able to try out both the lowest and highest range this weekend. On Friday I went to the beach to fly the kite but thought I'd actually try to ride and see what happened. Im150 lbs riding a136 twin and was riding upwind 7 to 9 knots max. Fun, but no high jumps. I was just impressed that as soon as the kite was in the air, I noticed it had power. And it didn't back stall until the wind hit about 4 knots. Once the lull passed it was at the edge of the window and stable as can be. The wind was dropping quickly and I decided to pack it in, but dropped the kite to test out the light wind relaunch. Not only did this kite launch, it launched quickly. I think it would've safe to say that you could launch this in 6-7 knots pretty consistently.
On sunday the wind as going to light and I found myself back at the beach. The wind picked up to about 15-18 knots and I was lit in some cases, but could always manage things, hold an edge and enjoy the fun. And you want to talk about some really nice and floaty jumps!!!! Holy $;@(@&$&);:, this kite rocks. Really easy to time right. Jacks you off the water and the hangs you there forever.
I'm so glad I really got to spend some time on this kite. I know now that I can properly teach a lesson in under 10 knots and enjoy the crap out of this thing in the 12 knot range. By far my favorite size in the line. Go buy one, you will be so glad you did.

Hello KiteCulture, This is the reason why we have this WARNING in all our ads. "WARNING. DO NOT BUY ANOTHER KITE UNTIL YOU EXPERIENCE AN EPIC KITE" because we know the results. Have you had the chance to try the SCREAMER 12. Because if you are looking for big jumps and big hang time then the Screamer 12 will blow your mind.
On another note these are some pictures of 2 days ago. Kiting in flat water for 2 hrs and then going to the ocean and having a blast on the new REEF 6'0" V2 surf boards. All this fun in one day. This is the reason why I love the OUTER BANKS, NC (USA).
