I bought this kite from the supplier on EBay, when the board arrived ther was a problem with one of the bindings but this was soon rectified by the supplier. This was the first board I have owned and I was on a tight budget. The build quality is not fantastic and now after a year of use the rubber grip on the deck has nearly all come off and it needs to be replaced. Also the graphics on the maple deck is just a sticker on the wood. Onfortunately this is then not seeled to the deck withe a laquer so this has started to peel off at the edges. The board came with channel trucks with medium hardness egg shocks whcih I have now replaced with hard ones. The board is good for the money and I have had no problems using it, it is just a shame that it is let down by poor quality. Over the next few months I will be stripping mine down and giving it a coat of laquer to seel the outside and then replace the grip rubber. I'll be sticking with this board as it does what I want., others who have used it have also found to quite user friendly. By : JohnB
