Seeing these at Amazon for $370 or so... Anyone know of other purchase options for this board? Time for something that actually rolls:D

JR- buy a trampa- I know will cost you a little more but really cant be beat and other than bearings damn near indestructible

JR I have a 15 ply Trampa with ATB trucks I could sell you like brand new condition shipped to your door for $400

15 Ply 35º Long Deck.

Richard posted pics on Photobucket.

It's a sweet board. I'm sure that Rich means that he'll include shipping to WBB :wee:

i'll take it. seeing no response

jrhook; Trampa all the way: http://www.trampaboards.com/kiteboards-c-368.html

9" or 8" tires? when is WBB?

Thanks everyone! Scott, you look to be so right! No rush here so I'll see y'all at WW and get a feel for what I want. A lot of decisions to make with the exact Trampa board/trucks to get...is anything easy?

Like I said to Scott, I'll be out of the beginner board before JIBE!

Guessing 8 in tires.




Trampa mounts 9 in tires on their Primo 3 Spokes Hubs (rather than the Hypa wheels pictured on Rich's board above.



And it ends up giving the deck a very Dark Knight Tumbler vibe.





According to the NAPKA Calender, WWB Falll 2015 is October 7th - October 11th.

ATB,
Sam

Thanks Sam for filling in for me while I was asleep . Yes it has 8" tires and as stated is nearly brand new.

Also Oct 7-11 is spot on as well.

@phree- that's a great board for you, I think you will like it
Scott

since you already have wheels and straps, you could just buy the deck and bearings and trucks if you want to change trucks and it would be cheaper. Do you like channel trucks or skate trucks more. each have their own merits.

thanks Sam, my guess is 8" in the pics as well.

definitely a tumbler vibe ...but i'm much more the paddle tire type as seen here on quasimoto


batman will just have to get a wish list

looking good for trade on the trampa, thanks rich!, thanks jr for the wanting repost setup. the GI stuff is all but gone.

looks like i am headed toward a trampa situation. possible custom redrill the strap brackets but totally stoked, for the moment, it has beat out a foil board i was in pursuit of but the guy has not messaged back.

GI---> trampa pics comparo up on a new thread , sorry for super jacking the thread

Glad this worked out for you phree... I'm settled on Trampa now but just have to be sure of sizing and the other options. MBS is not quite as extensive in the choices to make. Come on WW!!!!

hey it took me a while to dial in size and features as well. this is the only "long" with channels trucks i have seen , the smaller , skate truck stuff@15 at fraction tight for my leg length.
WW will have to wait , boarding school visit conflict, so yeah one day for sure.

MBS the best ..try the pro 90 for kitting , super light ... the deck is the best that you can get 4 flexibility scale
Trampa is too heavy to dificult too much Drama from UK ... and over price

The new MBS products are super lights and strong ...truck - HUB - Wheels Decks .

Trampa = Heavy and Expensive ..

Thanks Chicago...it's a tough call, especially not having much chance to check anything out for real. MBS is made here though, correct? I'd like to think the U.S. could compete with the world in the production and sales of some particular component of kiting.

Umm, the way I see the history. Wipika may have invented the inflatos that propelled the sport forward but Robbie Niash was the one who set it on fire? Airush, Slingshot, Caution. Ocean Rodeo for Canada. LOTS of North American companies are in the game?

If you are going to WBB you should try BigKid's Flexboard to " buy American ". It sounds like he will leave it behind at cost! Thing is, it's not exactly a lightweight jumping board?
