One of the best kept secrets in kiteboards...Squall Boards

I think this is one of the best kept secrets in kiteboards, and they are custom boards as well. If I wasn't already riding a couple of L.M.G boards, I'd likely be riding these.

This isn't a promo post at all, only an FYI. Nick Bowers, an East Coast rider makes these boards and I bought one of his earlier boards off of a guy on Ebay over a year ago, a 120 x 39 carbon/kevlar, the predecessor to the board on the right. It was a nice stick, but it does look like he's progressed in his shaping, the new one adds concave and is probably lighter too. Looks like he offers 8 different shapes, all at reasonable cost with the most expensive at $600 and most boards come in a choice of Silver Texalium, Black Carbon, Natural Yellow Kevlar, Salmon Kevlar, or your choice of auto grade paint. Not too shabby.
