I would like to know if someone has already tested the LF Twin Tip and the Kite Fish, and can tell me which board would give my quiver a better low end capability.
I know that the Kite fish has the fin and strap option butt I´m very interested in the light wind performance.
I had a go with the Fish with pretty light and it goes fast but really heavy so maybe there's a better thing out there. Haven't tried the TwinSkim so can't say, but my lightwind choice is any $50 crappy second hand surfboard, works great!
a few of us in cairns have gone with skims , well finned skims . they have a fairly flat rocker and get going in not much ( if your kite can fly its enough but a bit more is better) and a sharp edge that cuts down on drag . we were on north skimfishes but have switched to nobile skim waves , they're much better in sloppy waves (thats all we get) than the norths although the norths go upwind a little earlier . cross a skim with a surfboard and thats what they look like . they don't make them any more but the infinitys looks prety much the same . may or may not suit your local conditions if you have decent clean waves go a surfboard
