Before eventually buying a mountainboard myself, I've tried a few of my friends Reef & Scrub. Though these were all excellent, they were not what I was looking for, due to (relatively) high prices: I'm fairly new in the whole powerkiting thing so I don't want to spend loads of money. That's where the Dragonboards from Libre come in: Great value for money. At 155 euros, the Dragonboard basic is a lot cheaper than most other boards, whereas it's build-quality is more than equal. The basic is already a very sturdy board, but I went for the 'Race' version: It's basically the same board, fitted with larger wheels (23cm diameter, apposed to the basic's 20). This may seem like a small difference, but on a rough surface (I kite mostly on grass and rough terrain), this small change makes a big difference... Also, the bigger contact surface with the ground should make this board more suitable for use on sandy beaches) I opted for the normal Dragonboard Race in stead of the longer Race 102. The board I tried before were all longer than 1m, like the 102, which provides excellent stability on longer runs. The normal Dragonboard Race is about 10 cm shorter, making it easier to turn and jump... All in all, I'm very satisfied with the board on the whole: It comes with all the necessary tools, which is always nice. The build-quality and strengh of the board, foot straps, wheels and bearings seems to be impeccable... If you, like me, are new to the whole kiteboarding thing, I'd recommend this board anyday!
