    KQF 6.0 vs KHF 5.10

    I'm interested in one of these boards. I cannot make my choice.
    Can anybody inform me what the difference is between the two boards?

    Hi Peter,

    Hi Felix,

    Thanks for your quick reply. I'm about 6.4 feet and I weight about 170 pound. I ride in conditions with windwaves from 3 till 7 feet. I would like to know the difference from the boards concerning the concaves. I understood that one board has one and the other double concaves. What is the difference about the stearing and planing of the board.

    Thanks.

    Hi pete,
    Just came off the water and spent the whole session on the new 5'10 Hellfire it has the double barrel concave which allows for easy planning.
    The board is awesome planes super easy - gets upwind like a rocket the tail comes in and tappers out so you can still throw some nice hacks.
    Board has the thickness to get you thru the light spots
    It has a 3-4 or 5 fin combo
    I rode it as a Tri today worked super well
    By far it is the best light wind board I have used.
    Super fun and still gives so much true performance
    You will not be disappointed with this model hands down. I would go for this over the 6'0 as it bring so much versatility to the table
    Enjoy your new stick when you get it.
    Really amped on this board and I'm sure you will be too.
    Felix

    Hi Guys,

    Like Peter I am living in the Netherlands as wel, 80kg and 1.90m (like Peter) and surf the same (wind created) waves. We need to follow our kites to gain power in the bottom turn en mostly for the cutback as well. If you need to pick just one board for light (16knts) and heavy wind (30+knts), what would be the best?

    Cheers, Jasper

    Hi Jasper,
    You will also enjoy this 5'10.
    The board is super versatile and someone in the weight range from 70kg to 90kg will really get the most out of this board.
    The board has thickness thru the middle and comes in at the tail giving you great wind range and float with a really lively board.
    Enjoy
    You wont be disappointed.
    Regards
    Felix

    hi, jasper and peter.
    I live in belgium and got the 6.0 for 6 months now. It is a great board for the waves in kijkduin, de slufter, ouddorp. When the waves are small i use its in a quad setup, and when it's big and superwindy thruster. The finchoice is olso important. If you want tho try it, you let me now.

    Which fins do you recommend? I also kite at exactly those places in Holland. Just bought a Hellfire 5'6.

    I think you got to test some, it's very personal. I use the originals as a quad when there are small waves and a strong current. But most off the time i use the rob machados. You can test a couple off fins at the versusshop.
