Kiteboarding

Core really knows what they are doing in manufacturing kites as well as board building! This board has everything one wants in a high performance twintip. Incredibly light and the channels provide great hold when setting an edge to load up and boost. You can't go wrong with with Choice 6

After trying several harness types there is not one that can quite compare to the Ride Engine Hyperlock! It provides incredible back support and really lets you crank it down with their proprietary system. Many harnesses I tried prior would always ride up and would be impossible to tighten while I was out riding. With this harness if it felt loose at all I can easily crank it back down and get back to sending boost. Can not recommend enough!

Been riding the Core Pace a lot and it's such a fun all-arounder. Super fast and responsive with a ton of lift when you send it to the moon. It provides really impressive hangtime and feathers you down for landings. This is a great kite to progress on!

What can I say Reedin really outdid their selfs with the Whisper model. I used to not be stoked on a light wind sesh until I put one of these kites in the air for the first time. Super easy launch / relaunch and provides clean power in astonishingly low winds. This kite is really stable and still feels very responsive for a large kite. It really makes those marginal sessions fun!

The XR8 has everything you want in a high performance 5 strut kite. Super responsive in the air, delivers clean powerful boost and the landings feel smooth and feathered. Whenever I fly this kite I have an extra level of confidence. Highly recommend

This floaty tool is great. Nice compact size where I can put this in my Vaikobi PFD vest's chest pocket when I want to. I also love that it floats so I can bring this out on the boat or on the jetski and not be screwed when I drop it in the water accidentally! I've had this tool for a while now and it hasn't rusted at all which is great.

Perfect for hunting down spots in the heart of winter. Holds up against the wind incredibly well. The fleece lining feels like you are wearing a grizzly bear. I recommend keeping your car seats dry and wearing your wetsuit home with this pancho on until you can change in a hot shower. 10/10 investment!

I wear this at least 3 times a week when its cold. Its super soft, the perfect warmth for slightly chilly days, and a great weight for layering with larger jackets. The navy blue hides dirt and stains and the sleeve ends have held up over about a year of wear.

This is my go too front wing for wing foiling. I started out using the 1190 but recently switched to the 990 and haven't looked back. Most of my wing sessions are in 18mph + and have plenty of power paired with the speed 180 stabilizer. This foil is super easy to get on foil and is effortless to carve and do tuns and is super forgiving. The speed i get too on foil is unreal, go give it a try !

I recently tried this boom on the XPS II. I absolutely recommend this, i prefer this over the separate handles on the wing. It gives you more versatility easy to de power/ power the wing and easy to change hand positions. It is super easy to change out on the wing from the two handles to the boom, I highly recommend giving this a go !

This kite popped up for sale yesterday and the condition was really good. The wind was blowing between 6mph to 13mph and the kite was able to lift off easily and was really simple to control. My son took it out for a spin (~160lbs) and he was able to do some small jumps with it. We also have an XR 13.5 that wouldn't dream of getting off the ground in anything less than a standing 12mph or better, so this is truly an excellent light wind kite. It's too soon to see just how low it can go, but it's looking promising so far. We don't get a lot of wind where we live, so I was hoping to find something that would work during the summer when e can't make it out to Hatteras. I've been wanting to try one of these for over a year now and I'm extremely glad the timing worked out to get it. These newer kites are pretty rad!

Just got off the water after a wing foil session at REAL in the Watermen’s Foil Garden. Southwest wind averaging around 23 mph—great conditions.
I rode a full F-One setup: Rocket Free Surf Foilboard (71L), V6 Quad X 4M wing, UHM Carbon 85cm mast (12mm), SK8 HM Carbon 850 front wing, and XS 138 carving tail.
This entire kit blew me away.
The board rode much smaller than its volume suggests, but still had plenty of float to get up and going. Once on foil, it felt even lighter, with minimal swing weight and really nice balance.
The foil setup was fast, responsive, and super efficient—tons of glide with high-end turning performance.
The Quad X wing delivered great power and stability while still feeling responsive. I loved the boom setup, though I did miss having a window—could be a drawback in more crowded spots.
For context, I’m an experienced foiler (~160 lbs), typically riding Armstrong gear in the 45–65L midlength board range, so the 71L was a bit outside my norm. That said, I’d absolutely ride this board again—especially for ocean sessions or parawinging. It offers a super stable platform to get started, then really comes alive once you’re on foil.
It’s been a while since I’ve spent time on other gear, and I’m stoked to see this setup available in the REAL rental shop. I wouldn’t hesitate to grab it again for any session—sound, ocean, surf, or downwind.
