"Finally
had the chance to try the Wing: 10 to 14 knots all the week-end here in
France ... and for the first time I was happy with this conditions!
Just one word: GREAT! the board is awesome: feels so light under your
feet, I felt like I was riding a 135cm board; the pads/straps works
very efficiently: feet are really locked in with comfort, and still you
can slide your feet out of the board in "emergency" cases. You can
switch to toeside really easilly; riding toeside is also very
convenient (I wasn't so sure about that before trying since all fins
are on the back side); the flex combined with the incredible straps
helped me a lot to keep it under control in the small waves; and since
you don't even feel like riding a "big" board, you feel very confident
jumping. Made me gain those few knots when I usually would sit on the
beach wishing I could go on the water. And as soon as you get one
little breath of air, this board just brings you upwind of everybody.
Overall: I love the board, works great!."

"The Wing 153 is soooooo much fun!
My 234 lb son, and I (210 lbs), have just entered a whole new realm of kiteboarding.
Very rare are the skunked days!
Very frequent are the "Hey, why is everyone else still sitting on the beach when I'm flyin' out here" days!
Yesterday I got my highest jump on your Wing. Wind was marginal but, since I was out on the water, I was able to catch a little gust and took advantage of it. My son said it was at least 25' vert with an extra kite loop floater! OUTRAGEOUS!"

"I
am now giving lessons at BoardSports School on my Wing and my first
student loved it! He was already a rider but needed help with riding
upwind and transitions. We had the regular Alameda light wind and once
he dialed in the board, and made the needed body corrections I had
given him, he was ripping upwind. We tried on his regular board, but he
just sunk in the water. He left me a nice tip at the end of his lesson!
He might be buying one also. He lives in Maryland and rides the
Chesapeake Bay. GREAT testament to your board! "
