Hi mate,

i have a Tnatrum Custom 132/41cm full Carbon.

It is a very special board, super fast and light and the finish/ look is unreal.

I am 82kg, ride freestyle most of the time.
Conditions flat to choppy water condistions in 15-25knts.

Build Quality is 10/10 the bets quality i have ever seen. Board is hand made in Fehmarn.

Im super stoked on the board 10/10- im still adjusting to its speed tho. The pop is excellent and the board has heaps of flex.

I am an international Team Rider for Core/Carved and got this board custom made for my riding style, weight...

I can put some photos on if you like.

Please put plenty picks, at least we can see on a photo how the GREAT kiteboard looks- I dont think that every kiteshop in OZ sells them, didnt see too many in St Kilda or Brighton either.

Hand shaped boards aren't cheap The Carved boards are really special.

Leigh - give me a call and i'll let you know how to get hold of one. Expect to wait a little while though...
