How to Set Up Your Kiteboard Foot Straps with Blake

[@MrViolity]

What size are the fins? Any preference and why?

[@MACkiteboarding]

Hey, there-great question, my friend. 🤙🏽 This one would best be handled with a phone call. Got a moment to chat? [phone]

Hi Blake, thanks for the tips. Why did youngo for the 141? Seems loads of people say the board rides bigger than its size suggests and you don’t seem to weigh 200 pounds 😁 I’m struggling to chose between the 141 and 138. Any advice?

[@PaulS-nw1cv]

Sorry ignore. I see below it already got answered. I ride in Blouberg Cape Town so light winds are no issue here. Thanks again

[@MACkiteboarding]

Thank you for commenting, Paul. 🤙🏽 -Aaron

Hey Paul, I would 100 go for the 138 for your conditions! Hope it make it over there someday 🤘🏼

Hi Blake, thanks for the video. I'm trying to decide between the 141 Atmos Hybrid and Carbon, what are the differences? What is the weight difference between them?

[@rubensbrazilianbrothers]

Don’t know what their exact weights are but I could not feel a difference between when holding them at the beach in a recent North demo. Carbon is a lot stiffer and works better in flat water. If you are riding in chop then the Hybrid is probably a better option

Surprised you are riding the 141 cm and not the 138 cm. How much do you weigh? Thanks for the great info.

Blake is 190 - 200 last I checked. He’s always used 141 in all his boards. Living in the Keys light wind is common so he doesn’t need to hold down a tiny board in nuking winds often. - Rygo

​ @MACkiteboarding you got it Rygo! Around 190 and like a big board for more speed and pop. Also have a 138 Astra for stronger wind as well as others. Most of the time winds here are around 15-20 and less than that I'll get out on a foil. Cheers Mike, happy new year!
