Glad you liked it on the cable Glendog! Yeah mate the only complaint I've ever heard against the Pop is the weight but I see it as a total nonissue. If you go into tricks with speed and don't try to dangle it the swing weight actually helps. If you try to pull up into a pass it makes it harder, if you use your momentum it makes it easier, as far as I'm concerned it's keeping kiting honest ![]()
had a quick little kite this arvo, bout 17 knots but against the tide (fairly strong tide too), felt really comfortable and im stoked with my decision to get this board, landed all my tricks first go. i honestly didnt notice the weight at all. i was surprised with the pop i got against the tide, normaly its almost impossible to keep the kite low when the tide is wrong but wasnt a problem, the water was pretty choppy normaly i struggle landing blind in chop but it was seriously so easy i dont think i stuffed up any blind landings at all. the size also felt perfect. i honestly dont have a bad thing to say about it. hanging out for some glassy water at kfc or kite island where the tide doesnt matter or even shearwater with the tide going the right way. but stoked with the session today anyway.
And I'm pretty sure they are the same. Iv got a tona flow on order, can't wate till that comes in!
Yes they are the exact same board with different graphics. Flow will be here soon!
