I've just got a 105 Kode as my light wind float and ride board and yes it is great! For my weight (65kg) the 105 is stable enough to uphaul if I have to, yet fine for catching whatever waves might be around. A good platform for improving fast tacks and heli-tacks, and compact enough to fit in the lift. It has really opened up those 'kite only' days at my local spot!
I have placed the foostraps in their most forward freewave positions (as opposed to the indicated rearwards wave positions), as this corresponds more nearly with the middling settings on my Goya One 86L board - which happens to be almost exactly the same length though of course rather narrower (I have the thruster fin setup for both). Perhaps you can shed some light on why the Kode straps (and mast track too actually) are biased to the rear compared to the Goya One? Note also the difference with the Kode mast track compared with the Ultra in your video, again it's a good inch or two further back!
There is Bjorn, there is Naish and there is Harty.
His continued chops mean the world to many of us,
Agreed!
Always good to see Harty! Please can you do a Blade rigging guide?
Hi, we'll be working on more videos with Peter, stay tuned!
So which sail model would suit the Kode best? Dedicated wave or Freewave or both?
I use the Blades - but Gator or similar crossover sail works equally well, esp if you're doing more bump and jumping than pure wave sailing
Severne Gator or Blade!
What would you recommend is my next board?
I have RRD FIRESTORM V3 123 litre. And is very choppy.
I want a board that is easy to go upwind and planted to the water and faaast.
