Anyone built a Wakestyle kiteboard?
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 4:11 am
I have blown out 6 cabrinha customs over the past 2 seasons and figured its time to make my own. I used to shape boards for a smaller company from 2004-2008 so I have a basic understanding of how to shape a board.
My main questions are...
Are there any tips to building very prominant channels? Wakestyle boards are typically ridden finless and need large channels.
Has anyone worked with inserts exclusively for the booted rider? If so, what have you found to work?
For those of you who don't know, a Wakestyle board needs to have heavy rocker, be very stiff, able to be ridden finless, and be able to take a punishment from heavy booted landings as well as slider damage.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance
