The White Kite

The White Kite was inspired by a pic of a particular board I saw on line somewhere that I had to visually copy although I had no idea of the dims… but did not let that stop me. The board was an old single fin somewhere in the Plastic Machine era sporting what appeared to be a stage 3 Greenough fixed fin.

I designed it with a 4.5 mm concave running through the guts in order to give it speed under the front foot and also resulting in increased rail rocker making it more forgiving when driving with the front foot. This would not have been a part of the original design, but this was never the intention coz I want this thing to have great east west freedom and fly like the clappers; the specific reason why this is a 2 + 1 and indeed a Born To Fly model.
