Nice to see a few different sizes of the same shape in the mix.

Thanks Ryland have you had a chance to surf the 6'1" prone, I guess its under 30Litres.
Is BWS expanding the range adding to the Mulcoy and the Drifter or will these two new boards 6'1" / 5'7" Rawsons be the "one board" models for 2013.
All thrusters now?

Site says that they fit in between the 2 current models and the 5'7" is for 65kg adults/groms.
Does anybody know if the Zu stocks BWS boards? or just the their kites?

Ryland,

Have you ridden them yet? I have the Drifter and the Mulcoy, both of which I love. So the Rawson sitting in the middle of them sounds interesting.

I don't surf, just kite as such the 6'1 seems big to me at 80kg. So interested in your feedback on how they ride. My Drifter is getting a bit battered now, so might fancy a Rawson replacement.

Cheers

Mike

From their blurb in the second link - this would explain the lack of inserts!!

Warning: This is a surfboard, not a kiteboard, please don't purchase it if you intend to jump on it. BWS does not warranty boards.

Yes they do look sweet! i personally havent had a chance to ride it as yet as there has been no wind in Perth for weeks. i Spoke with Ben and he's frothing on the 6'1 both kiting and surfing and thats my pick for me. yep they are still keeping all other boards they have- i hope they never get rid of the drifter as thats my go to board for nearly all conditions!
