Board Riding Maui

Hello, my name is Eric, I'm working with Greg, from Board Riding Maui, to expose more people, here in the NW, to his cloud kites and his awesome board he calls the paipo. He designed the cloud with de-power being his mane focus. He succeeded. You can dump all the power with very little throw of the bar. They're awesome at drifting down the line for surfing with a kite and because they're so light, with no struts, they stay up in the air with very little wind. I'm offering his kites and his paipo at a discount, for a short time. The paipo is regularly $575, which includes shipping. I'll be selling a couple for $545.

How much for an 11Meter?

Am I a jerk for wondering if this should be in the industry section?

I get it that you are trying to help your buddy out. But doesn't that seem like a better place to post? Clearly you are pimping gear, and if the local shops don't get to do it shouldn't folks from outta town play by the same rules?

Yeah, that makes since. I thought I'd seen similar posts here before, but don't want to cause a problem. If it needs to be moved, that's fine.

have you been to the industry section????
its like nwkite siberia with links to free movie downloads.
I'd rather see it here than sift through the crap on that sub forum.
As for the clouds, I was skeptical the smaller sizes would work in the gorge due to the inconsistent and gusty winds, but spending an afternoon on the 7m proved to be a fun session with the strutless kite handling the lulls and gusts very well. super fun looping kite.
later in the afternoon I spent on the 5m strutless in the slicks. super fun to make a smaller kite work but man does it turn fast!
yeah and that paipo board is a great board to add to any strapless quiver. fun with fins or not

I tried using the 13m cloud at frenchmans on monday.
sauvies sensor was reading in low teens hovering between 10-11 when I checked with gusts to low to mid teens. probably would have not been able to make the kite work with a normal board even my glideskate, but with a foil I was overpowered on that kite!
