Hello race fans,

Selling my favorite weapon. It is a custom Mike's lab race board that I build custom with Zajicek to my specs after extensive testing. I used this board at the Kiteboard Worlds this summer and finished 10th on it. I am selling it with multiple sets of fins. Won the last two Cabrinha Thursday night series Races on this board.

This board is one of the top 5 fastest boards in the world. It would be perfect for anyone racing in San Fran. This board can produce top 5 speed upwind against the top riders in the world, and at times was the fastest board downwind at the worlds, depending on what fin set i used. The board has the ability to beat anyone in the world racing scene, as it has finished in front of all of the top riders in individual races, except Farley who I only raced twice in the worlds; but was quicker at times than him in testing. SO its got the potential!

Mike's Zajicek's current waiting list on boards is 4 months backed up and he sells his new race boards for $1100 without fins. I am selling this board for $ 1000 complete with my best set of fins. I ride it as a quad.

I have more fins available if you want more options to cover the whole range of light air to super high wind. The sets of fins will cover you from 10 knots to 35 knots. With a little testing these fins will get you the performance you want around the race course. The board has very high volume rails and multiple footstrap positions as well,l so tuning options are all covered.

Also have one other custom raceboard that would be awesome for free riding.

Give me a call if you are interested. 772-332-0448 i go back to Florida on wednesday.

Gebi

This Race board has had alot of R & D put into it, plus at least another 1000 dollors in fin development.....it is my opinion that it's well worth his askng price..

LionKite how many olympics have you been in?

He gets the gold medal for "most consistantly offensive, alienating, jackass comments."

Clearly there are some serious anger management/childhood issues he has, as he never posts without saying something negative.

Yeah I agree Lionkite should get a Gold Jackass medal.
That board is well worth what he is asking to the person who is going to use it for what its designed for. I have seen Gebi fine tuning the board for hours at the beach and making adjustments as well as countless more spent in the shop making not only this board but the many others that have lead up to it.

Now if your a twintip guy wanting to throw handlepasses and tricks like that then this board is certainly not for you and would be a waste of your money. If you are serious about course racing and the style of riding that this board is used for then this is a great deal on a one of a kind tested and proven board.
Good luck Gebi!

Hey LionKite,

How about telling us all who you are. We'd all like to know who the coolest kid on the bay (or at least in front of the computer is), and then you'd have the cred to keep posting. When I go to the delta/3rd and see someone throwing down unhooked in boots I want to know that it's you dude. Don't hide, get the credit you deserve.

cool thing about kiting is that there are so many aspects of the sport. irony is that many of the diciplines don't respect us, as we are not the original deal....

I hang with yachties a bit, and they can't take kiteboard races seriously....

we know how windsurfers thing of our sport...

and kite wavesailing....get a surfboard, please.....

think your raley is cool...? get behind a boat and let's see what you can do....

Gebi works hard to further the sport, and get's any racer's respect....

Is this the Robby Naish, Ed Angulo, Pete Cabrinha, Mike Gebhardt, early days of windsurfing phenom? That is so awesome. Alot of kiters, especially the younger ones never windsurfed, it is like windsurfing never existed. You absolutely have to sign that board. Unfortunately you picked the wrong place to advertise your board. That board sounds killer, good luck with the sale.
