MBS Pro 100; OK for for cruising a beach?
I'm trying to find a good landboard for beach cruising.
I want to cruise and carve turns.
I don't want to jump.
Speeds nice too.
I'm 175 pounds and have PL kites; Venom 13 and 16.
Any opinions on MBS 100 or the Pro 16

I don't know how well "carving" goes on some beach sand. I just know that the lighter kind of skate trucks on some MBS models seem too wobbly for
steady traction cruising.

Flexifoil Kava ... about 4 miles long and a silly shape but great for speed runs and carving slow, lazy turns. Not sure if they make them anymore
Yeah... I got a kite. Or two...

Kave retired.
Current Flexi boards are the Tracker and Hunter.
Of course, merchandise is always hanging around on the back shelves of stores (heck some stores still have new Bullets) :wink2:.

+1 on the Core 95. Great value board. I ride a Pro 6, but I think that its overkill and that I'd be just as happy on a Core 95 or Comp 90 or 95.
