What would it be for me? I'm changing gears slightly ... I was leaning towards the Quad-5 as an addition to my current board, a 5'11" x 18.5" Quad (Dereck Camacho) but I think there would be too much overlap. As a light/medium wind board I think my current board is fine and it probably makes sense to add a smaller board to go with it. That way I can cover more bases quicker and always replace my board later.

Based on some of the posts here I'm thinking the the Hellfire 5'6" ... thoughts? Should I be looking at something else?
Unfortunately a demo for me means a 'rental' and dropping $50 for a day to try boards and unfortunately I can't even try the KHF. I can try the KQF, KDM or the Taj. Any chance that anyone has the KHF for demo somewhere here in Hatteras?

My stats : 180lbs, 5'11". kiting for 10+ years and wanting to surf more. Getting my gybes wired ... making them mostly but they can be ugly at times. Riding the Outer Banks of NC mostly, but other coastal locations as well.

The ideal two board quiver?

Where can I demo the 5'6" Hellfire?

I'm looking at the KQF and it is a 5 fin board (quad or thruster) but when I look at the board at Real Kiteboarding it is a 4 fin board (quad only). Has the KQF recently evolved and Real has old stock?

I was there on the weekend and they have this board, a couple Taj's and a 5'8" Dominator. They have some boards in their rental shop as well.

The KQF was suggested to me (old forum) as an addition to my 5'11" Camacho quad ... want another board for lighter winds.
My plan is to do a rental (down in Hatteras 6/9-6/16) and map up my mind on the board.

Do you know if they are getting any new stock of boards? What about the new 5'10" Hellfire? I'll check with them too.

Thanks
Tony
