Hi there,
The strength of the Firewire Surfboards really depend on your own personal riding style.
Some guys are more heavy on their feet and this cause's the board to disintegrate faster some will make the board last as they really know how to nurse the board.
This is why we came up with the Kite line up of the Firewire boards .
These boards are truly built to last and have the magic feel you feel in the rest of the surf fleet from Firewire
You have my word you will not break the Firewire boards that are in the kite line up. (just make sure you fix any Dings you get)
I have been on the same board for over a year jumping it 300 days a year in windy conditions
Enjoy your new kite construction boards
You will not be disappointed
Regards
Felix

Felix hit it...unfortunately this is why we don't push ridin the surfboards for kiting because the strength for kiting is just not there. You would need to add some carbon or additional strength, but why when we have the kite models built to last who knows how long?
