anyone got a review ?

Well I have mentioned it in small sections here and there. Great board I have the 145 by 44 but Im only 75/76kg.

Great board and doesnt feel big underfoot, not much rocker to get going early, but plenty of flex which provides a reasonably comfortable ride. Pretty good in the waves on a smaller kite for a TT that is.

Would have to be up there with one of the most purchases I have ever done. Was on it for two weeks in bali and the zephyr and it goes in the car with whatever other board I plan to use depnding on conditions.

Just a session saver. Takes a little bit more to load and pop but hey who cares right you are out there.

Great board but there are plenty of others out there to. If you get this one you won't be disappointed.

I second Eppos comments above.

I purchased one about 2 months ago (thanks to Eppos input via PM) and cannot fault it, excellent light wind board that I use with the 2013 Zephyr on light wind days. At 75kgs I have the 145 x44 Cruiser Pro and have been using it on the 10-20 knot days, up and riding at around 10 knots with the Zephyr holding ground. At 12 knots and I am heading upwind with ease. Total game changer when it comes to marginal days, even used it in 15-18 knots with my 10m kite when I was struggling on the 130x40 TT and it was a session saver.

Best purchase I have made, apart from the Zephyr.

thanks guys

Eppo - how does the Light wind performance compare to your Mako(s)?

We have just received the 2014 models in stock and have a demo if anyone is keen, the Axis boards hopefully will not be too far away as well!!

Mako is not a light wind board mate, not with all that rocker and concave.

Get going much much earlier on the cruiser. Mako's my wave board because I'm a pussy and don't like SB's (well that's what my SB kitersurfing mates call me, which is fair enough, lol).

Agreed, yesterday WOK came in after shredding our local to pieces, think he was on the new reo, damn that prick can burn in the waves...gotta be the best SB rider around here...anyhow wind dropped out big time, so I had an 8m set up (don't trust these F'n fronts), so I got the cruiser out. Went for another pretend session in the waves.

So it also allows you to rig a smaller kite if ya not too sure of the conditions as well.

Got mine from Westoz, give jason a burl.

yeah I like to do that as well - Kite for the gusts, board for the lulls

thanks again

Ps same thing happened on my 11m yesterday. Others walking up beach or changing Kites just changed board.

SHUCKS, thanks Epp

The new Reo sure is nice, I will try do a review once I get it in some nice wind.

Was watching you ride the waves on your cruiser, super smooth style mate, I was chatting with Matt as to why you don't ride a surfboard

Yeh I have to be honest I'm starting to think the same. For winter anyway. You guys are getting so much tighter and connected into the waves. I suppose you saw me eat sht a few times as well.

Yeh that REO flies real nice, seems to have a bit of launch ability as well (yeh I saw ya showing off!!).

Nah man part from the vids, I haven't seen anyone ride a SB in the waves as dominate as you for sure. You know I live two minutes away so I'm always at the carpark when only windsurfers and your crazy ass is out in stupid winds and swell.

It seems I may need to step back into SBs again...dammit. For winter anyhow. Not worth it in summer. I know sparky is gonna get hold of some deltas so I will give them a burl.

And I think I speak for most, will someone ****** review that fcking REO. Fck me how long does it take!!

..and don't rely just on Jason, the review might only be a sentence long!! Something like, "great kite, drifts well, I like it."Something like that...ha hah ah(people who know him will laugh anyway).
