Took her out for a ride in mixed wind. Seemed to perform well, not consistent enough wind to really give it a full run. Heading out next week for a road/kite trip, looking forward to really putting it through the paces.The board weighs just under 3 kg without the straps and pads. Yes the T nuts are in between layers of the wood. Good suggestion on playing with the shape if the performance doesn't live up to it's looks. Wondering if using 1/8 ply cut to a base shape and attached with the fins and bolts would be a good way to play with changes.

I've been using the board for awhile now and it works very well, carves beautifully heads up wind and has soft, stable landings. Very positive feed back from those who have tried it.
