The Kahoona V3 delivers the perfect mix of freeride, new school and wave riding performance. The V3 combines rock solid stability, smooth power delivery, endless depower and precise handling, making it the perfect kite for advancing your riding level, regardless of your preferred riding style.

The first two generations of Kahoonas were praised for their surprising hang-time and great low end power. In this third generation, we’ve been able to extract additional high wind stability and turning speed, while reducing bar pressure. To do so, the Kahoona v3 is made with new, specially developed high performance materials and improved profiling which have energized its performance.

When wave riding, the Kahoona V3 serves up its best attributes, combining incredible downwind drift, precise steering response and huge depower, whether you’re going down the line or being chased by the white foam close out.

The Kahoona V3 allows you to perform the latest unhooked new school tricks. The effortless re-launch motivates you to learn new moves and gives supreme confidence to wave riders who simply have to be able to re-launch their kites before the next set comes in… it’s the perfect partner to use with any of our surfboards.

The construction of the Kahoona V3 is both bomb-proof and lightweight at the same time. The introduction of a new 3.5m size makes building the perfect quiver of kites for all riders and all conditions easier than ever before.

GSpot now has the complete range of Simmer boards in stock at a starting price of $1799.
Although only the first year of production Simmer has delivered big time in their first foray into the sailboard market. Many manufacturers have been trying (and falling short) for years to design a range of boards that perform well in a wide variety of conditons. Simmer have not only achieved this in the first attempt but thanks to guru shaper Ola Helenius have created boards that excel in their design briefs. Full double sandwich bombproof construction at light weights and a light price (with wicked graphics)  further add to broad appeal of these boards. Check out "sailboards" on the left for more details and call for January sale prices (starting at $1799). Demo boards available.

A selection of boards from the new Simmer line has been tested at Gnaraloo recently. The feedback has been all positve with the general consensus from WA's wavesailing elite being that they perform above and beyond all expectations. The Flywave 75, Quantum 95 and FSW 95 were put through there paces in overhead waves at Tombstones and here are some resulting reviews recently posted on seabreeze.com.au


"As promised here is some feedback on the Quantum 85.......

After finding that the FSW95 performed as a board with lower volume I was amping to try the Quantum 85 when the wind picked up. Conditions were waist to head high waves and 18-22knts side shore winds. With my weight of 85 kg I found the board planed early and pointed high with it's relatively straight rocker and wider outline and there was no sign of drag from the quad fin set up. As with the FSW it gybed smoothly through the chop out the back with the subtle concave giving it a lively feel. Waveriding the Quantum was fast and snappy through turns. I felt I could push as hard as I liked and it responded with plenty of grip and drive off the bottom and a nice controlled looseness off the top. Vertical waveriding was a breeze. For a board as mobile as this I was impressed with this aspect and was looking forward to trying it out in more radical conditions.

The next day the swell jacked and the wind picked up to 25knts. Full on Tombies bubble action! For a board that is hyped as more of a cross on, wind swell (real world wave) board the Quantum handled the powerful, hollow, sucking ledges of the wave with ease, even when slightly overpowered. Ideally I could have come in and changed over to the Flywave but I was having too much fun on the Quantum.

In conclusion the Quantum 85 is an early planing, fast, loose board that is very easy to ride yet with enough pedigree to perform in more powerful/radical conditions."
Available for demo from G-Spot Geraldton.

Just came back from a couple of weeks testing the Flywave 75, Quantum 85 and FSW 95. This review concerns the FSW 95 with posts on the other boards to follow.
First up I hail from Geraldton, am 85kg with 30yrs sailing experience. I have done most of my sailing on 75 L boards and less so I was pretty sceptical when I jumped on the FSW 95 to head out at Tombies in overhead waves and less than 20knts of wind. I thought the board would feel big, bouncy and slow (like the other 90L plus boards I had ridden). I was stoked to find the total opposite. Planing out the board felt perfectly balanced and super smooth through the chop thanks to the V throughout the bottom. Gybing out the back the board easily got up on its rail and carved quickly and held it's speed through the turn. I was couldn't believe how reactive the board felt for it's larger volume. Wave riding was the same deal. Loose off the bottom with the Tri fin setup providing plenty of speed and drive. The board went vertical similar to a board of much less volume and snapped off the top equally well with total control. I found that I could even wack a wave 360! As I got used to the board and loaded it up out of the lip controlled slides were possible. Smacking the lip for airs the board projected well out of the lip with nice soft landings. I was totally amped and couldn't believe I had been persevering with smaller volume boards in marginal conditions for so long. This board would definately suit a heavier sailor who wants to rip waves or alternatively be a smaller sailors light wind shredding machine.

SEVERNE SAILS DOMINATE




Severne sails were completely dominating the break recently at Gnaraloo. Out numbering other brands by 5-1 they are definately the preferred sail of WA's wavesailing elite.
Scot McKercher, Glen Alexander, Simon Peters, Andrew Lang and G-Spot Team riders Ben Pallant, Kirra Young, Mick Steffan, Pete Kenyon, Tim and Jen Carr were all over the break like a RED rash (literally). The 2012 Severne S1, Blade and Swat are once again tweaked to the next performance level and the guy's were frothing. Below is a sample of some action that went down -
