thanks,
The music is a simple recording off of a Jam Hub that we were using during jam nite last year. it's a standard 5 4 1 blues pattern with Bill on slide, me on bass, and dave t. on drums. Mostly you just hear the slide guitar.

The boat is called a wave cat to distinguish the design from a race cat as in wave board vs. race board. there will be waves on any coast runs that i do. obviously when i do catch a wave i will have to just stay in front of the white water. There won't be any aerial off the lips or tube rides.
i haven't seen many good wave rides with kites. They look too fast compared to a surfboard, although a real shredder guy can get awesome wave rides on a kite board. Also a race kite board that you would use for a return trip coast run would suck for riding waves. Some of them use 3 giant fins with more total area than my rudders.
Anyway the design/build/test process is kind of fun.
