First day on the Equipe Dick Ward sold me. I bought it for my wife to use while she learns. It's a pretty good old race board, and Annie seems happy with it. It's a bit tippier than the newer starter boards, but it didn't cost much and I can use it, too. I fact, I did for awhile and had a fun time in light winds. I pulled eight-year-old Devyn on a boogie board and then did some freestyle playing around. All was well until my 3 month old and hardly used Da Kine uphaul broke at the top as I was using it. Splash! I'll have to get it replaced or buy a new one, because three months of little use is way to short for an uphaul to go bad. I had others I used to use constantly and never had that problem.
