I bought one of the new force fly boards on friday and gave it a ride that day at Penguin Island (Rockingham).
I've been kiting for around 4 years... but am of only average ability, and weigh around 70kg. I bought this board, as this season I want to improve my jumping. I wanted something light that I could edge hard, and something as small as possible. My old twin tip was just to heavy.
I found this small board VERY easy to ride, and felt a home on it after only about 5 mins. I found it very light, very easy to go up and down wind, it sliced through the chop very easily for a smooth ride, had just a little flex (I dont like too much)and in a nut shell I am very impressed with it.
I would recommend this board to kiters who want something small light & easy to ride. Also a great price.
I bought it from full tilt and got a great deal! www.fulltilt.com.au
Below are the specs.

I got the Force Australia Fly 2 Carbon board the other week and the thing rockets!
I can not believe how it moves upwind and the speed that this thing can handle.
I'm now a convert on their boards. It's good to see some Aussie making good or better boards than our cross channel counterparts!
Anyone ridden their new kites yet?
Yeah i've ridden 9m and 11m force Raptor very easy to ride and loads of grunt when, if want it and super stable. The fifth line bar set up is easy to set up (dosen't tangle).The price is also good.
I had a go of the 125 Fly1 sample that ha been floating around melbourne if you can get hold of one give it a go.
