Crazy fly light wind weapon

Just took out my new crazy fly skim board. Started off in 10 knots and well powered. Even without straps you can really edge it hard, and fly up wind, the fact that its constructed like a standard crazy fly twin tip, makes you feel at home rarther than having to get used to a new style of board. Great fun in the surf and due to its width of 48cm!!!!! You can compleatly depower your kite and relly on the waves power rarther than the wind. As the wind increased up to 20 knots,( and it was sunny, sweet), I worked my way down to the lagoon, for a solo mission on the flat stuff. had a wicked time there, and even in the super shallow sections,( under 1 inch of water ), was still able to ride with solid speed, sweet especially as so much of the lagoons around here are super shallow a lot of the time.

All in all its a wicked board, I cant wait to try it strapped now, I think it will be even better, and ideal for people that want a skim style board but want the options of straped or strapless. ( straps can be set up in 2 or 3 strap style ). Itll be on the beach all day Satursday for those wanting to try, thats if you can get me off it!!!
