Black Pearl Creations retro log


Beautiful, triple stringer 10' retro art by Kevin Meliski of Black Pearl Creations in Florida. Board has a heavy glass job with deck patches, acid-wash resin job, resin pinlines and glassed on rake. Board also features a concave through the nose making this board a nose-riding machine. I can't say enough about this board, I want to put her on my wall but the wife has final approval in the house and my request was quickly denied. Board will help bring a soulful approach to your longboarding, drop-knee turns and cross-stepping await. I have another log that I'm going to keep, it was a wedding gift from the queen so I think it's with me for life, but it's a great board so no worries. Anywho, the Black Pearl has gotta go, again, trying to clear out the garage a little with the baby on the way. I am realizing that I have to trim down to a few boards to focus my surfing to the little time I may have available to sneak away every now and then after the baby arrives!! The Black Pearl is a beauty, you will be stoked the first ride you get on her. Selling for $550, she is used but in great condition, new will cost you around 1200+

Naish V4 25m kite


Kite and bag only, kite is blue, grey and white, in perfect condition. This kite is a light-wind machine, I was able to kite in very light winds with a skim or surf board, or the Slingshot Glide. I have evolved into a bit of a wind-snob, as most of us kite and windsurfers do over time, so if it's light winds I don't feel like riding anymore. I will send you pics of the kite if you need them, will sell only to riders that I know...sorry, selling kites to newbies scares me, I don't want anyone to get hurt and then turn around and blame me for their mistakes. Selling for $200.

Uncle Mike Quasar-X 5'8" quad fish






Super fun quad fish, very fast and powerful through the turns, skatey feel for you acrobatic specialists. Board is wide so it floated me very well, surfed this board in hatteras a few times, board is in perfect condition, no dings. I thought of re-enforcing this board with extra glass so I could kite with it, but decided not to. Leading fins are carbon custom FCS, the trailers are polycarb FCS. Selling for $350. If interested email me at epkfoury@yahoo.com. Thanks




Nice Baron Bindings, sixe XL


Barons, the first kite and wake bindings with slick neoprene on the insides for a no-soap entry. Easy on, but firm and supportive once you get your dogs in. I used these as my first kiteboard bindings, still in great shape. Fits a 10-13 foot. Selling for $50.

Naish Stubbie 115




Super fun board, tiny and powerful. When small boards were the craze I picked up this little guy a few years ago, with the deep concave and fin setup this board can hold a ton of power and can boost huge. I kept this board around for the wife but now that she's pregnant I think the kiteboarding career is on hold for a while. Board is in excellent shape. Selling for $150.

Liquid Force Litmus with Alpha Bindings




Kyle Schmidt Litmus 136 with Alpha Bindings, size XL (10-12). This board was built for boat and cable park wakeboarding, but I have used it for boat and kite wakeboarding. Rides awesome behind a boat, double concave through the belly and out through the fins, fish fins on the sides and a center standard wake fin. Board has a 3-stage rocker to soak up hard landings and creates a ton of pop off the wake. Behind a kite this board is incredible too, even cruises upwind if you have some skills. The Alpha bindings are the first wake bindings with slick skin inside so you don't have to soap up before slipping your dogs in. Binding also has a canted footbed to reduce strain on ankles and knees, and a soft, gel-like foam footbed. Comfy. Board and bindings for $200. Email if you're interested.

Kane Garden 5'10" Retro Fish




Larry Mabile shaped Kane Garden retro twinnie, painted sunburst deck, if I can ride this you can too!! I am 6'1" and 230# and was able to ride this board in Hatteras dredgers. Unfortunately the surf in VaBeach rarely gets pitchy enough for me to ride this frequently and can't go to Hatteras or Puerto Rico as much as I would like to. Board has only been ridden about five times, bought her on a whim. She's in great shape, athough she came with a little ding from shipping on the bottom that had a sloppy store repair on it. I never cleaned it up, surfs fine so I never cared enough to work on her. Selling for $400, great deal so email me so you can pick up your board!!!

Dakine Impact Vest and Harness, XXL




This is my harness from coaching at Real and for riding the slider park. I've come to the realization that my days of riding sliders are behind me, and coaching too. The vest and harness are XXL, it fits me snugly so I think the size runs closer to an XL...or I may really be a gorilla. The vest is in perfect condition, no tears or cuts, loose threads, nothing. Comes with a DaKine hammerhead spreader bar and backing pad, and a hook knife. Selling for $90. Email if you're interested.


Elias

Naish Hazmat 138



The original wake-style machine, the board was originally black with red virus symbols. The original owner was going to put a custom paint job on her but stopped after the primer?? I got her in perfect shape and only cared to ride her, to break up the paint I slapped on a few stickers. Board is in great shape, the paint never bothered me...it doesn't change the performance one bit. Anywho, she's going for $100, board and fins only. Email if you're interested

Kiteboarding Bars

Standard with lines, $100
Standard, no lines, $35 DaBest with lines, $90


If you are ready to step up your kiteboarding skills, I have a few pulley bars I am gonna sell. Two standard (I think around 18") Airush pulley bars, one with lines, one without; and an Airush DaBest bar (I think around 12")with lines. All bars have a swivel harness loop with a quick release. These bars are for intermediate/advanced riders only. Shoot an email if you are interested in any of the bars, they are all in great shape.

5'0" Directional




5'0" Tim Patterson Directional with pads and inserts, deck re-enforced with extra glass and pads. Future Glass RTM fins. Board was in perfect shape until I dropped it to take pictures of it, so nose has a ding which I will repair in my shop. So, my drop is your gain, I was gonna sell for 400, but I will now sell for 300 since it has a small repair. You can see the ding on the picture of the bottom, it is on the left side under the pink Slingshot sticker on the rail. Whoops...
