Slingshot Boards ($589):
Slingshot's LFT (Little Fat Twin) is an ultra-light kiteboard that hits all the levels, from beginner through pro. It allows any avid kiteboarder to launch on a barely breezy wind day, and beginners will find the LFT stable, easy to mount, and good-mannered with speed. In addition, the board comes complete with deck grip, a Doyle fin set up for better upwind ability, and grab handle. And like a good snowboard, the LFT has a twin-tip rocker that allows the board to cut through junk and chop with ease. Contact 509-493-3979, www.sskiteboarding.com.
