Zoek een spot, vraag of kiteZoek op HanglosInloggenHanglos PasWie kan mij helpen.
ik ben opzoek naar een nieuw board, huidige boards zijn een blankforce logic 2013 (137*41,5) en een airush protoy (129*??) en ben nu opzoek naar een nieuwe board wat er tussen in past. ben momenteel nog een freerider maar wil dit seizoen de kant opgaan naar freestyle en een beetje oldskool.
iemand die me wil helpen het juiste board te vinden, enige suggestie's ?

Jouw gewicht? Houd je je huidige boards? Met hoeveel knopen ga je dat nieuwe boardje normaliter inzetten? Zee of binnenwater?
Van Dan@North kitesurfforum verschil 14/15 Jaime
There's actually a really big difference in the 2014 vs 2015 Jaime...
The Jaime has historically fit the slot between our performance freeride board, the X-Ride, and our freestyle/PKRA board, the Team Series. It is stiffer than the X-Ride, with a more-square outline in order to give it better pop for unhooked freestyle tricks, but has more flex than the Team Series so that it is comfortable to ride in chop and can hold down more wind for freeride/sent type jumps. It is a freestyle/freeride do-it-all type board.
Historically, the Team Series has been uncomfortably stiff for most freeride riders, especially in choppy conditions. In 2011 (or 2012... I've been here too long) we made a huge change to our Team Series, giving it a quattro V bottom and building it out of Textreme carbon. For the first time I noticed that freeride-type riders (less experienced, not unhooking) were trying the board at demos and bringing it back with rave reviews. It was a very stiff board that worked for PKRA style riders but that felt comfortable enough for freeriders who were looking for something with a little more pop and liveliness.
Since then, we have further stiffened and reinforced the Team Series, making the bottom shape even more aggressive. As a result, the PKRA guys love the newer board when there is no chop, but the board is less accessible and comfortable, especially if you're not in glassy flatwater.
This year we have brought back that 2011/2012 Team Series as the Jaime. There have been some small construction and shape changes, but basically that cult classic early carbon Team Series is being resurrected under the Jaime name.
In short, the 2015 Jaime is stiffer, faster, and better upwind than 2014. It has more pop for freestyle type riding, with a more aggressive bottom shape to help track with or without fins and to soften landings. At the same time we're using a time tested shape that ensures the board is plenty comfortable for freeriders in choppy conditions. If it gave anything up for this, I'd guess it would be carviness, so if you're looking for a twintip to cruise and carve waves, the X-Ride would be more your style. From what I hear, our PKRA riders are just as likely to reach for the Jaime as for the Team when conditions are choppy, but feedback from early demos shows that the board performs really well for everyday freeriders.
Hope this helps.
