Im 230 lbs, I have a couple of big boards. A george Animal 180cm wide and floaty. I also have a Liquid Force Switch 185.

8 mph is enough for the Speed 17 for me, but maybe first time users would be better of in 10 to 14mph.

Yep. He kills the poor elk. He got a huge 5x5 bull last year. He also got an antelope last year, and a Deer. So far this year he has got 1 antelope and 1 dear both with his Bow. I am from a hunting family...with 5000 acres you have alot of animals to hunt. His best shot ever was an antelope on a de...

Hi

Just wondering if anyone in the LA area would be intrested in letting me try their XBow 16 in exchange for trying out my Flysurfer Speed 17?

I'm thinking of Belmont Shores as the place to do it?

I always have my retractable leash on my harness. I am using it less these days, but I will always have it handy. Starting to ride strapless so I will be needing it more again. I'll use it when I'm kiting large swell with not much wind. It's a pain to body drag upwind in large swell. As for using a ...

I used to vacation in Cadaques just north of Rosas. My favorite spot was San Pere Pescador just south of Rosas. This was a few years ago and things could changed.

Felt pretty dissapointing. Felt like the wind was to lite. As soon as you would fly it around things change dra...

Hi Marcus There are some great spots. 1)Belmont Shores in Long Beach is great for flat water... not the cleanest. Wind is Pretty reliable. Don't know of any camping there.Seal beach is close by with a bit more waves. You could also visit the Queen Mary. It's close by. 2)Leo Carillo. Has camping walk...

I'm 185 and my biggest board is 138 so don't go by me for low end. If I wanted low end I'd get a 17mtr. If you want a comparison I'd say it compares to a 19mtr LEI powerwise but that's where the comparison ends. Mike. The Speed 17 in a user review compared favorably to a Contra 23.5 Ive flown some ...
