KiteItRight Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 so as of yet no commercial interest for us, but credit should be given where its due. one was bought back from Leucate, and i unwillingly interupted a session two weeks ago to try it.... And blow me down it was freking awsome.... so good ive just bought one, keep an eye out i think its www.blankforce.com http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs014.snc1/4487_81224778405_504008405_1766460_7099424_n.jpg Quote
Maro Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Website looks interresting, had trouble with the ebay shop tho, my french isn't what it used to be Quote
s29feb Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 You can get them from Blastkiteboarding in the UK. Tom - was it the full carbon job you tried? Quote
Blast Posted June 8, 2009 Report Posted June 8, 2009 Just had a session on the Carbon model BFC and the Wood model BFX, have to agree with Tom. I cant believe how smooth these boards are and how much pop! A few have tried these boards off us and all have return to the beach with a big f'kin WOW! Thes are guys riding the top end "major brand" boards too. Very understated graphic's maybe (cool I think), but on the water is where they shine! http://i61.servimg.com/u/f61/13/31/75/40/n1507011.jpg Quote
KiteItRight Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Posted June 9, 2009 yeh s29 it was the carbon jobbie.. do a similar wood one but has alot more flex, so proably more beginner orientated. im plannning to take this carbon to the beach when the wind goes back to a sensible direction, and spend all day on it Quote
Blast Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 Just had a few epic days on the Carbon and the Wood boards and really have to say how sweet they really are. Everyone who's tried them has been reluctant to hand the demo's back! They seem to provide a confidence "to go for it" as they are so smoooooth and provide so much pop. Choppy conditions are hardly even noticed! Quote
Andy C Posted June 21, 2009 Report Posted June 21, 2009 What do the boards weigh by the way?? As in altogether with fins and pads/straps? Quote
Blast Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 I'll weigh one for you today but they def not heavey! Quote
KiteItRight Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Posted June 22, 2009 out of all the boards on my selvss its the lightest here, about the same as the Onyx this is the Carbon Jobbie.. Andi ive got a carbon just now, so il bring it to beach Quote
Blast Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Just weighed the Carbon and the Wood boards (on bathroom scales:o ) and they are coming in at just under 4 kilo's inc. all fittings! In answer to another question we had, NO the boards give very little spray back in the face. In fact the front section of the board seems to be quite clear of the water so eliminating the spray and making it virtually impossible to nose dive the board in heavey chop (or waves) You'd think this would suck the energy and speed out of the board but it simply doesnt and gets up on the plane really fast too. I honestly have been gobsmacked by the Blankforce boards, they look pretty simple but f*** me they rock! Quote
crut Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Might have to try one. How do they compare to the LEN10 Lunacy board? As a reference I currently ride a Crazy-Fly Pro '07 132x41 Quote
KiteItRight Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Posted June 24, 2009 Might have to try one. How do they compare to the LEN10 Lunacy board? As a reference I currently ride a Crazy-Fly Pro '07 132x41 lighter, proably cant hold down as much wind as the lunacy, , but better lightwind pop lunacy is flat waster high wind board, with more weight, which isnt a bad thing for everyone Quote
dj-jt Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 i dont know bout that tom not riddin the blank force board as of yet but the lunacy is the best board iv ever riddin Quote
Andy-j Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 How much are they? When does the 2010 board hit the shelf? Quote
Andy C Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 Not sure about 2010 models, but check http://www.blastkiteboarding.co.uk for prices. Quote
KiteItRight Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 http://www.kiteitright.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=388 just put a little write up on the board here Quote
KiteItRight Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Posted July 24, 2009 3 demos and 3 orders.... shaping up to be a popular board... anyones welcome to try it when i get it back from Andy_j Quote
Andy-j Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 likewise anyone north of the border wanting a demo while i've still got it feel free to give me a shout. Quote
blowmeharder Posted July 24, 2009 Report Posted July 24, 2009 likewise anyone north of the border wanting a demo while i've still got it feel free to give me a shout. If you're ever in troon m8 I'm in the market for a board.. Quote
Bigbud Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Dragging this from the depths Anyone used the BFX 39 ? Its a woodcore model not the full carbon so a bit more forgiving ? (Beginner to intermediate ?) Quote
KiteItRight Posted November 23, 2009 Author Report Posted November 23, 2009 even the bfc has a wood core i would suggest the bfc, the the one that really outshines alot of the competition Quote
simon1976 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Thw BFC isnt unforgiving at all, dont get put off by the Carbon bit, its not a bone shaker. depends slighly on youer weight i guess but the Fully wood core may bit a bit flexi?? Quote
