I've been working on this board with Fletcher Chouinard at FCD Surfboards trying to create a "step-up" for kitesurfing...
Made specifically for good waves and high speed riding (or if you just like going fast) the FCD "KiteGun" was a board I didn't know that was missing from my quiver. The KiteGun is simply a 6'8/7'0 step up shrunken down to a 5'10 length and has quickly become my board of choice the moment the waves get good. Check it out here from a good day at home this past winter.
