Hi Spot1,

Bit of a hole in the market now eh? I have put our demo Hammer up for sale as there is little point in keeping it if I have no more to sell.

Not too many for sale and I'll be surprised if they do go up for sale as they can now no longer be replaced.


Probably in a few years time they'll be more valuable than their RRP, who knows?

Good winds,

I'm suprised you managed to get the demo back Darren , Tony seemed quite attached to it .
I find because I also have a 135 FLX and a surfboard, I hardly use my 144 Hammer anymore and nearly sold it recently, but decided against it as there is certain times and conditions that the Hammer excels in. It just seems to fit so well in between the other two.

Have a look at www.liquidsurfdesigns.com.au/main/page_tb_kiteboarding.html or www.tbkiteboarding.com/en/index.php - 15k. I have been riding the Haura XXL (102kg, 198cm) for the last couple of months and I'm more than happy with it. Constant winds,
Baz.

Hi Guys,

The Hammer will live on through 2010... just maybe under a different name. In fact, the guys at Airush are working on an even bigger range of twin tip wave boards for next year...stay tuned...

You could try a Venom as a good alternative to the Hammer. It's cheaper, goes upwind better and super smooth in the chop. The new style RRD footpads are great as well.

I know, a bad case of Hammer envy. At least I won't get my board mixed up with yours on the beach.

Should be another cranking upwind sesh tonight on the Venom.

For anyone serious about wave twin tips, have alook at Marc Gondard's site:-http://www.oups-creation.com/fr
Marc makes custom wave twintips, which are really good, I have had one for 12months and it is a pleasure to ride.
He is based in Samoa and will get your board to you in about three weeks.
Also check out some of his video's of Morroco and Peru
