Hey Harkin,

135 FLX set up with binding works well, definitely do it!

You can really load up the board with the extra 135x41 surface area.
Im sure you can get away with a knot or two less wind too, especially using a fast C kite - you still riding C's??

Hugh amount of pop, I think the quad concave stiffens up the board nicely, that and the Carbon reinforced laminates.
Approach fast, set the kite at 45, load up the whole board, lighten up the front, shift the power to the tail and you can really pop some height, and fast! the tail produces alot of power!

You know what you doing; I dont need to tell you how to work it.

Found the height good for the vertical rotations, board hitting the lines a few times.
Took a few session's to get the right binding placement, but once you have your sweet spot, it's all good. You cant twist your foot that much compared to standard footstraps.

Stomping fast powered landing is better too. You can get away with a few half crashes by pulling the board up out of the water if your going over the front on landing.
Found it less fatiguing on the knees.

Keep in touch.
