Kiteboarding Equipment Review: Best Kiteboard of the Year Award: Free-ride Twintips Catagory
135 Pictured Above
As an instructor for six years I tell tell you I have ridden more boards than most. The New Flexifoil Freeride kiteboard series for 2007 are surely some of the finest kiteboards I have ridden. All three sizes work great, I often take all three out and ride the one which is best for the day’s wind speed. The pro model is a 130 with wood core and the stiffer of the three. The 135 and 145 have foam core, and have more flex than the pro. The 145 actually has more flex than any other board I every felt. As flexi as the boards are they pop well. Nice smooth Lincoln Continental ride. The deep fins lock in and they hook up wind. My friends who like looser feel just put shorter fins on theirs. I ride many many boards every year and these three are all on my top five list for 2007 twin tips. Great job by the chaps at flexi, and hats off!!
