How Many Kiteboards Do You Need?

Postby Jon Manwaring » Sun Sep 13, 2009 7:51 am

I know Marty's answer would be: How many can you afford? But Jason Morton has refined this answer a bit to: What are you going to do with them? Jason may now be the new 'Chairman of the Boards' He has taken Abunda Quiver to a new level. I got a preview of his toys last night at ULLB. let's see. There is his new Race Board, Asymmetrical Speed Board, Surfboards, Lightwind Board, and numerous Twin Tips, gotta have one for bump and jump and one for turnin. I didn't see a Mutant or a Skim Board, but I'm sure they were in there somewhere. He's got it all covered, Morton, you're THE MAN!!

Well, I helped Jason out some,,,
I bought one of his "rejected" surf boards.

Crazy thing is, the $300 I paid him,
was just enough to pay for a fin on his new race board.

(09) Slingshot Misfit 146, could be a one quiver board. IMHO

Got to be the same as the answer to "How many sailboards do you need?" Answer: One more.

Chairman of the Boards! I like that. Yes, I have gone kind of nuts in the board department. I have eight kiteboards. Three SUP's. Three regular surfboards. That is just the summer stuff. I only have six pairs of skis and three snowboards. Billy has probably 40 snowboards in his basement! I have yet to ride the assymetrical speed board. Rush needs to fill up for that one. I could get by with two surf boards for kiting. One for side-off down-the line-riding. And one for on-shore mushy strap/less riding. Two twin tips- Glide and Wainman Blunt. One race board. But whatever. I may sell some soon.

Careful what you sell Jason...whoever buys your gear may beat you in races down the road. :mrgreen:

Chip Wasson sold his custom Zitcheck (how do you spell that name?) to Johnny Heineken, and Heiny was on his heels the entire race, taking third behind C-Man.

You may want to wait until we get some Utah races going, and you slay the rest of us, then sell your boards so some of us can keep up and ride with you.... Mr. Chairman. :)))

Windzup,

Brian-
I may sell some boards but not that board! That thing rocks. Perfect for those marginal days at UL. Mike Zajicek(Mike's Lab) made the board. It is sweet. Come down and I'll let you take her for a ride!!
