    Kite forum Fan haha. I think currently it's the 506 and 510, right? I'd say it's pretty unlikely that they'd fill that gap, but you never know.

    Well, we just have the 506 and 510. I have a proto 508 Alternator that I am zeroing in and it is a great thruster. It is shorter than the Kp1 but .1 more volume and a better outline.

    We have a lot of boards we are working on for strapless vs strapped as seen in that link. One other option we are considering very strongly is the ability for any of you riders to purchase any shape, any size, custom...in a kite layout.

    The only issue that we see is the lead time for shipping. If you are willing to wait around 2 months for that magical shape...a great thing could be lined up for you. Thoughts?

    My mistake...right you are...kiteboards, not surfboards.

    You got my vote on this ;-)

    Kite layout... means also choice between strapless AND strapped versions, right?

    As Phil said, absolutely. I have no problem waiting 2 months waiting if I can pick any FireWire in kiting (strapless construction).

    I think it would be a winner, as the whole experienced surfboard kiting community can handpick their shape knowing it will hold up to kiting forces.

    I have fancied the alternator.
