My friend used to have one back in the UK. It's a very big chunky board, pretty heavy and solid construction. I think its aimed more at speed which is someone most landboarders aren't aiming for but as with all flexi stuff it is well constructed. It was really good and keeping upwind from what i remember - but then, it's pretty easy to stay upwind on most mountainboards!

Unless you are aiming purely for going fast i dunno if want a kava - it doesn't really provide any pop for jumps either.

Still though you should give it a try you might like it! :rolleyes:

I personally like super light super bouncy-poppy boards so the kava didn't suit me! :thumbup:

That's what I thought about the board. I have one and wanted to get some feedback from someone who has ridden one. It is quite heavy and is good for straight line speed runs with some carving. This is what I wanted for where i ride. I only have about a 30-40' wide area to ride in at low tide. But I can cruise for quite a few miles without any problem.
