www.seabreeze.com.au/gallery/gallery.asp?imageid=5921

what can i say would love to have one..where is Lorch made? looks like a jp with the graphics..

German Brand , made at Cobra .Full Biaxial Carbon , Attention to detail and finish is excellent . I can't wait for 30 knots at Sandy point !!!

god speed at 40+kts.! have fun

the board looks like full on speed, let me know how it jibes

So what the good lady's vital statics Mr Love. The board that is....not yr wife.

Well I can definitely say my wife is heavier !!!
The 63 litre board is 221 x 44.5 and 4.8 Kg,s
The 83 litre board is 225 X 49.5 and 5.4 kg,s

They are really compact , with a fair bit of volume thrown into to a small board . Probably wider in the tail than most speed boards and a pretty flat bottom shape . They definitely look fast thats for sure .
I hoping I can get down to Sandy Point soon and then I can give you my impressions .

The best thing is it may mean the 2009 Koncepts will have a bit of colour....

Well yesterday it got wet for the first time .
Sandy Point in a gusty westerly , a very broard course with a fair bit of chop . Perfect conditions for my first ever attempt at riding a speed board , not!!!!.
Well ,it,s definitely harder than I thought . A board this size certainly needs some techinique to get going when you are not the lightest guy in the world , but the thing that shocked me the most was the shere accelleration . I was way to timid to get near testing what this thing could do , it just wanted to go fast and I didn,t !!!
My best time was a 36 knot displayed and I think I was out of the harness going "holy sh....t" at the time .
I need alot of practice to get even near testing the speed potential of this board . Amac got his best time for the day on it , so thats really encouraging . I have left it down at Sandy Point with Andrew Daff for the guy,s to try . Hopefully the weather will co-operate so I can see what sort of speed somebody with skill can milk out of it .
It,s all good fun .

Pulled a 41.56 2 sec and a 40.5 500 metre today on the bigger Lorch speed board the Division S 83 . Not bad for my second ever try at spped sailing and I was on a 6.6 . I,m stoked!!!!
