Speed Kit
I'm on the prowl for some speed kit... Anyone got anything for sale.
Something like an Starboard iSonic Speed or similar. probably around the 70-75 litre range.
Ivor is on his way in the estuary and I need some kite to make the most of it!

Are you looking for a small slalom board or an actual speed board? You are welcome to give my Fanatic speed board a go when I am down
next. I was hoping for some wind tomorrow but it looks a bit poor even with the Ivor effect built in.

Probably an actual speed board, but it will all depend on price and availability.
Would be good to have a go on yours one day.. I promise not to beat your top speed on it!! ![](images/smilies/wink.gif)

It would be a shame to beat my top speed but I would not let that happen. Not a chance. Riks has a small slalom board for sale which
will be plenty fast enough and more versatile than a full on speed board. A bit pricey though, my Fanatic cost a lot less and it was
brand new.

I have the fanatic falcon speed. 48cm wide and 68 litres but then I do also have a sonic 95 slalom board. I just wish we get some
wind soon.

Oooh, that sounds interesting, I may have to look into it.
I'm still undecided whether to go for something around 53cm wide and 75 litres such as a fast slalom board or big speed board or a
little smaller such as 48cm. What do you reckon?

Dont forget sails. To hit the big 40 you are going to need a full on slalom/speed sail or two.

Yep, don't worry, thinking about a 5.2 and 6.2. Not sure what yet, will see whats available.

Good sizes. Should suite both a speed and small slalom board. With Ivor being quite gusty a small slalom board may be the better
option. I suppose it will depend what comes up and how much it costs.

Hmmm, have a couple of options now.
Brand new Fanatic Falcon the same as Impi's could be on the cards!!! ![](images/smilies/wink.gif)
Have to get my car fixed first though and then check the funds.

Dont worry about the car. Get the board. I have found it easy to sail and pretty damn quick. Just need some wind already.

You've got a point there... Have you sailed it here at Ynyslas? How does it cope with chop.

Hmm, now might have a deal on a slighty larger board (80 litres and 55cm wide) Mistral SL Red Dot Team Edition - Obviously that would
give me a wider range of conditions in which I could use it, I just don't know how fast it'll be in comparison to a full on speed board
such as the Falcon Speed?
Decisions Decisions.

BoardSSSSSS sounds better than board.
What are the options in terms of boardssss?
Sounds like a midlife crisis to break 40knots. When are you turning 40 old man.

I'm not 40 years young until December, so I have a fair bit of time to hit the big 4-0!
Looks as though the current plan is as follow:
Fanatic Falcon Speed (48cm x 68litres)
Mistral SL Red Dot Team Edition (55cm x 80 litres)
6.3m North Warp
5.2m North Warp
All I'll need then is the ability!
