My new kiteboard has seen a few days on the water now. 5'8 x 18 x 2" with cork composite deck and also exposed cork filled deck wells for cushion. still havent sanded the finish coat or put full traction on yet - just been using exposed cork under the straps for grip. stringerless 2 lb eps/epoxy with carbon strip down the bottom. feels super solid but i have been launching on it - we will see how long it lasts.......
