Hey Guys-- I'm considering getting a second twintip this year to compliment my 2010 flyradical L (39x43.5) that board is great, but its a bit much when really powered. I find it takes a lot of effort to edge effectively in power at my 200lbs.

I have been eyeing the 2011 134rip hightech or 135rs. Anyone ridden either of these? Or have other board that you fancy?

Funny - I'm considering a Flyradical L to be my highwind board

under ground 139/138, about 43/44cm wide a bit stiff for my taste.

big boy powered stuff usually gets medium sized, stiff, light air boards with SOME kinda bottom concave to make handling in heavy air manageable

JL flight deck 148. its a light wind board, but for a big guy 220+ its a blast in heavy air with control.

there are some 135s but most have narrow hips and

the wide ones are slippery and intolerant of chop.

I have the 132 Spleene RS (2011), but havent had a chance to ride it yet... Last I was out, winds were too low... Hoping to test it very soon...

Anyone had a chance to try the 2011 spleenes yet? still curious about them.. debating one of those or a medium flyradical.

I got me a 2011 Flyradical L, thanks to Ricardo/Richard/Ripsession/ReallyPinkSkirt

Lovely board, very light comfy. Bit of a change to adapt to it from the 'door, cos it needs a LOT of rear foot weight in comparison. Good ride though ... not 100% impressed with the FSer straps - tough to adjust on the go and loosen up after an hour or so which is a problem for me cos I go out and don't stop riding till either my legs or the wind dies :D

Reckon I need get another 6 to 8 knots with the 'radical added to the top-end of the kite. The 'door is still my go-to board around here

I like my Radical XS, I mean small. Yes changing strap tightness is a bit of a bugger.

van and dylan both have spleene boards. I very very much love Van's black carbon one which we got in for him.
