TL2

Does anybody know how the TL2 or Tuflite construction holds up to kiteboarding. My epoxy board is on its last legs i think so I am looking at some other options. I ride mostly strapless but have found the airs to be a bit hard on the board.

any thoughts would be appreciated.

They all crack and turn into sponges eventually. Crying or Very sad

Tuflite is probably the toughest. Different construction and doesn't feel like a traditional glassed board, epoxy or poly. They have a corky feel and you can usually get one shorter and thinner than you would usually ride.

They actually have closed cell foam, so they will not take on much water if dinged. They are basically just like a custom shaped epoxy board, like a Stretch. Not as strong as tufflite for kiting, but at least twice as strong as a regular polyester board. If you are careful they will last forever. That, along with the proven named shapers designs, you can't go wrong.
