I got a chance to try out the Ocean Rodeo stick shift bar today. I was that excited to try it out. I put it on our Zian Hantu 12m in a 15 knot westerly and first impressions was it looked so neat and tidy almost simple in its design. It looked as if they had thought of everything. Power up and depower on the knob or bump it to depower. A few people have asked about sand and debris getting into it. It has an open back so washing it out is easy. The next question that comes to...

Had the 15m Pansh Aurora 2 out this avo in about 5 or 6 knots with the Litewave Wing. Bit of light wind fun. Even managed to pull off a switch front roll. The Wing works in everything from 5 to 40 knots this week.  #dadsthumb Come into Unhooked Watersports Wollongong to demo the Wing at 2/122 Wentworth Street Port Kembla or give me a call on 0433161110

The wing that is marketed as a light wind board and does an excellent job at it....

Today we had around 7 or 8 knots of wind. I pumped up our demo 14m Zian Aquila and drift launched it. I had to downward loop it initially to keep it in the air. I jumped onto our demo Litewave Wing 155 and downward looped the kite. Immediately I was cruising along. Even getting up wind in conditions I would normally not be able to kite in. It almost felt like the boards ability to plain was generating through to the kite keeping it flying. The wind increased a little and I was able to boost off it and...

In the last 2 weeks we have had a lot of gear arrive. We have had Double Up Royale Wakeboards, Double Up AHH wakeskates with 3D deck and Double Up Yeah Wakeskates. We have also had a Quiver of Zian Kites arrive including a Zian Kima 9m, Zian Hantu 12m and a Zian Aquila 14m. Today we received our order from Litewave Designs which consisted of multiple Kick S boards including a 139 demo and a DV8 surf machine and a couple of Wings 155 and one 155 Wing demo. On Monday the 29th I got the chance to fly...
