Nope. I would actually say this is one of those stereotypical SB threads where no one engages their comprehension skills...

Any tips on adding a handle, lack off handle gives me ships(sure its been done before but cant be assed looking).



Nah mate. Only if you wont to ruin your topsheet at the bottom of the board and let the moisture in. The SS insert is the same as for footpads.

I add inserts on my boards for the handle. Two inserts are 10.2 grams. If 10 grams is a problem for someone, well, duno.


Peace and love

The biggest stereotype is that flexy boards are no good. And a handle is ****. Well, I do carry a board when stuff up on a beach ( 7 valves gone, one each day), and it frigging hurts my hand and fingers garbing it on rails. What one doesn't understand with this...


but hey, peace and love

When has that EVER been a stereotype in kiteboarding??? I would say it's actually the opposite (picturing old mate in the shop flexing the board with his hand to show you "how good it is".)

p.s. This is irrelevant anyway as all boards have some flex and thus are "flexy"

I cant get a handle on this post and where it is heading, if my thoughts were a bit more flexible maybe i would be able to pick it up.
