Is the quad surfer a prototype? No mention of it with a google search. Seems to have better performance than the cat since the short hulls will plane earlier and will have less wetted surface when underway.

Hi MM

Yes, it's a prototype. There's pros and cons with the QuadSurfer. Fast pickup, high top end, light (20kg), tight turning radius. You need at least 20knots with (butter) flat water, at least .7m deep and the upwind performance is lacking. KiteCat on the other hand is all over it with the user-friendliness and excellent performance in all weather conditions and locations.

Do you know if I can find it in Barcelona, Spain?

[SteffoAvocado]

Not that I know of - There's a couple down in Tarifa though.

Perfect! I think this will fit the bill just nicely, might just have to get one:)

en mexico quien vende???

[UltimateKS100]

peak GPS speeds of 32knts in 25+knots of wind and flat flat water. Not bad for a recreational all round boat, which isn't built for speed

[Dancesux]

awesome what kinda speeds have you gotten this beast 2

Interesting - but one of the great things about Kiteboarding is you don't need a roof rack!

It's awsome. I practice buggykiting and kiteboarding for several years and would like to broaden my horizon. Please, let me know how much it cost and where it is possible to buy from.
