i was wondering if you can use one of these to maybe run down a sand dune and skim down it kinda like how it looks when you learn hang gliding at a begginer hill", i wouldnt be using it as a hang glider as i know thats not what this is intended for and you can probly kill your self but just wandering if i could use it like how i described or maybe run really fast and jump and get little jumps of the ground with a little bit of hang time?
I think a regular freeride board isn't right for this sport. There's far less pull than with kites and, when you tack or gybe, you essentially have no lift at all for a moment. Maybe one of those old long floaty windsurf boards might do, or something wider.
nice job! I have been trying to get up with my wave warrior and a 6.5ft surfboard but it hasn't been pretty... I will have to try with the IV8... do you have straps on the board?

Do the wingtips/battens still break when they hit the water?
Are there any videos of someone that can REALLY do this yet, or still just the one promo video from when the WW came out?
