Scrub Lion Landboard

After kiting for about six months, I decided it was time to by a board. So down to the local kite shop, no idea what what I wanted, other than reading some reviews.

I was advised to go for a scrub lion canyon, for £100 this seemed like quite a good idea, so I took it for a test run. Ofcourse because I wanted to try out something new there was very little wind. So I didnt really get much of a go.

To the beach... (rhosilli bay, south wales to be accurate) and I finally got to have a go on my new board. Got board ready, got kite out and up, step back onto board, move kite from top of wind window to side and of I go. When its going at speed a vibration/humming sound starts, no idea what it is, doesnt seem to affect board performance.

Quite stable at speed, managed to keep it going in a straght line, however it was very responsive to any movement (almost too much!) As for looks, its green, a kind of lime green, with lime green wheels. Has a scrub logo in the middle. It seems to be quite high quality, good bindings, and doesnt look like it would snap on a hard landing. A strap thing that you can attach to the wheel axle and your leg to stop the board shooting off down the beach and a tool kit is included.

Overall a good beginners board, it certainly does what its meant to.
