I agree with Barry and Effisk. I enjoy kiting most when I don't have to rely on volume to get me around but I often find myself just wanting to kite so bad even when the winds are marginal that I...
No doubt about it, having a birds eye view can make for some sick pics. The value comes out in certain shots. I wish I was kiting a reef. It breaks up the composition really well versus the murky...
Shoot it would be great to have some warming options for those of us who have injuries. I wish I had some constant heat wrapped around my knee. I used to have one of those boil packets that you...
I have to strongly agree with Grant about the Hellfire working insanely well from super light to super strong winds. I'm only 140 lbs so I'm on the 5'6" but it handles superbly in 30 knots. My...
I told my buddy Adam to go throw the KHF 5'6" around the last time it was blowing 30-40. He was stoked!

Such a cool angle with the strut mount but so far away, even with short lines that probably would not have come out as you would've liked it too. It still looks sick once you decipher the...
Workin with what I got at the moment, hopefully I'll get some nice wave shots in Florida over the next couple weeks.

Brian,
Yeah I was thinking the 5'6" might be a little small for Deadcod, but You and Grant would know better than I would. I went with the 5'6" because I'm typically between 135-150lbs. I have...
Hi Deadcod,
I have the Hellfire 5'06". I manage myself in the surf but my light wind abilities are far better out of the surf. I haven't had the best opportunities to kite in Hatteras this...
I'm glad to see the Vanguard is in R+D for kiting. First Glance makes me think it will feel at home with a kite. Maybe have a twin-tipish wake skate feel. I can't wait to see the 1st batch. ...
Whoa!!!!! The Vanguard looks awesome. Are you going to be experimenting on kiteboard versions? If so I want one!
Definitely a lot to consider here and probably the best thing to do is try to go somewhere to test them out back to back. I really couldn't tell you much about the QF but I have the Hellfire 5'6". ...
I think I may have changed my stance to lean a little more towards no inserts for a lighter board. I'm trying to grab the board during airs but can't seem to hold my grip, could be the winter cold...
I found a pair of Ocean Eyes polarized sunglasses that I use when I teach kitesurfing. They work really well and don't fog up because there is plenty of room between the frame and my face. they get...
I'll third that. I tried this out in really light wind where I normally would have to work the kite a bunch to get any extra speed but with this fin I could just pump the board super hard for some...
Hi Kaniala,
Go to www.firewiresurfboards.com. Click on kiteboards in the top right hand side of the page. Then above the picture there should be a prompt for working in the ambassador program. ...
I think having a two (or more) board quiver would be the ideal situation. Having a board without inserts for the added weight reduction would be sweet. But sometimes you just need those straps to...
I just got my 5'6" in the mail the other day. There was very little wind to try the board out but I've been experimenting on lightwind boards all week, pulling the fins off twin tips to allow some...
