Kontact/SST/Ben Wilson Pro/Converse
Posted: Wed Oct 01, 2008 7:51 am
I am interested to see if anyone has tried either the Kontact or new 2009 SST.
I have just snapped the 2008 SST within 3 months - Boo
I also snapped an Airush Converse 6'2" within 6 months.
Before anyone criticises me i do not jump these boards. The SST snapped going out through the surf, i.e. a wave pitched and the nose snapped off the board forward of the front footstrap - scary and painful.
I need a stronger board.... I see the SST is now a quad and supposedly stronger? I also see the Kontact is also stronger but cant find any feedback.
I kite in a variety of wave conditions and have found that 6'2" single concave, squashed tail thruster works best for me so far at 83.5kgs.
Does anyone have any reviews on the production boards i have listed above or any better suggestions i need help. At this rate i simply cannot afford to keep kiting.
