That's the last night I'm in my apt and everything is in storage for me. If my place is clean, I'll be there. After that I'll be in NY for ~3weeks. Maybe I'll head down south Laughing Laughing

either one will break. They are both meant for surfing, and not the extra power we have in the kites.

In general the epoxy can take a lot more than the polyester board. Of course it does depend on the glassing jobs etc and overall work on the boards, but the epoxy is usually better..that said I;ve seen enough epoxy boards break.

I am considering a few epoxies (surftech: Candidates: Stretch, Brewer, Rusty and Bushman 6'1'' to 6'3'') myself now, and I am aiming to put pads with carbon laminate under to increase strength and minimize the heel dents...hoping that will prolong the life of the board.

Still, I use polyesterboard everynow and ten, and they work, just don't expect they will take all the abuse you can hand it...

Getting an epoxy, I would never jump it high...
If yiou want something that hold up to kiting, check out some of the kitespecific directionals...all major companies have them now (I guess)...
