Live on the coast in an area with very few locals to go kiting with. My problem is "Nobody wants to ride strapless" even when I tell them they can test ride as many boards as they want. How do I get the old blokes to get rid of the straps? Nothing better than barrels and doing a big hack! Few boards from 5'2" to 5'8". Got bored with white.

Tip Rat, I would demo but I'm in Vic, I am coming up to Jervis bay at Christmas. How much are you charging for a stick.

Don't pick the colours anymore, just have 3-4 rums and do the lucky dip into the pigment box before glassing them. Risky cause my girls have pink and purple in there for when I do their boards. Had a few days with no surf or wind so just been shaping and racking a few for the future. How long would you leave a new board in the rack? For me kites are expensive but boards are cheap.

Happy for anyone to get on them and ride if they are at Birubi or One mile. Don't ride my pushie any further. Only keep making them for the resin highs and free dust in the lungs. Day job gets in the way for me to make them full time.
