The 172 Directional remains in the range for 2004,the most loved of these
dedicated directional boards from the 2003 board line. A four fin
configuration gives plenty of lateral resistance and slightly rounder rails
with a flat hull makes the board loose and easy to carve. Multiple footstrap
options allow for a variety of stances and for those who like the
directional feel this is the culmination of 5 years kiteboard shaping. This
was the first directional board ever made with a tail cut out, a design
feature that evolved from a discussion between Jim Drake and Jimmy Lewis and
resulted in them cutting the tail off a brand new board at Kite beach in
front of plenty of disbelievers. The result was a smooth and stylish board
for classic directional riding.
