Hatteras Island Surf & Sail
Keeping the soul on the outer banks since 1971
Keeping the soul on the outer banks since 1971
In 2004 the L I F T reigned supreme. At the Sail Shop you would see Dimitri and Morgan boost massive board offs and then dangle passes as freestyle kiteboarding evolved. The hangtime and float was insane. This year the L I F T comes back into our lives in a new but oddly familiar form. When riding it we found the urge to boost, throw board offs, loops, Jesus walks, darkslides, blind to backroll kiteloops and throw other "old school" tricks was hard to resist. The 5 strut canopy and a higher aspect ratio allow you to throw the kite from anywhere in the wind window and get maximum boost and float.
WARNING: you may have the urge to put on kite pants and a hardloop to complete the nostalgic feeling but for style and safety reasons this is not recommended.
