Wipika boards are hard to find

Last Saturday I was out playing around in the water and a fellow kiteboarder had a weird board. It was an older wipika that was bidirectional, long and skinny. The flat bottom was different as well. It wasn't the best for jumping but utterly amazing for Freeriding in choppy conditions.

I want to buy one. Anyone have one of those boards they want to sell?

Ditto. If anyone has an old Wipika Olry lying around, I'll buy it.

Ha Ha - Kitezilla - I've got one of those Wipika Parks in my garage - my mate described riding it as riding on a slab of ice - slippy - no fins - rides well upwind and is a great light wind board - shit for jumping with t

I just sold one. It is an amazing board for one thing--speed.
It is like a bullet.
I sold the Olry.
Don't have any more left.
