Definitely some sick looking boards.
I must say though, this carbon fiber thing is a bit scary. My buddy had an Aviso for a surfboard, billed as "unbreakable" by the shop, and guess what, he broke it. A $1,000 board, into the garbage.
We all know kiting puts a lot more stress on a board than surfing. I'll be happy to sit back and see how durable they are over time.

I like the straps in a track idea for shifting foot position around. reminds me of a mast track from my pole squatting days.
now if there was just some way to shift on the fly. like a remote on your harness to lock and unlock the straps position. that would be sweet
