Those looks sick Brian. My only concern would be the construction.....it could be prone to dents and even worse breaking.

hmmm..those look interesting..

Chooch might have a point...At that price, why not get a Surftech Rouche or those DB boards forrest was talking about.

They look cool though...skim and swell riding.

I own one but have not yet tried it kiting. I don't have it here but its in storage at the hotel we stay at in maui. I do know that for skimming it is the best you can really carve and they are sick but for kiting i think i would go to a very small 5.0 surfboard. The maui skimmers have a lot of nose rocker so i doubt they would be good for light wind but next time i head to maui i will try it kiting.

You should check in with Pepi at Second winds. He has been doing research on skim boards.
