 2008 Airush Ride Board The Airush "Ride" board is our basic school board. At only 142cm long and around 47cm wide with a generous scalloped concave in the bottom, it is both easy to use, rides well and will plane in light winds and low speeds. This makes it particulary applicable to students as a stable platform to stand on and also a great low wind board for all riders regardless of ability level. Initially when you are developing the skills to get up on the board whilst flying the kite at the same time, we find we get the best results with a larger board than what you would normally ride with. By choosing to use the most appropriate learning equipment, you can be guaranteed that you have the best possible chance of making your first water start on the board a success. Once you gain the skills of basic balance and 'edging' against the wind, we can move you onto another board if required.  2009 Airush Switch The 2009 Airush Switch.

This increases stiffness in the centre section of the board, with a harmonious and accellerated increase in flex towards the tips. The result is improved carving, smoothness and a new level of refinement. This year the new Switch will come with a 2 year warranty.
