Just split the old girl in half the other day need a replacement something lightweight with a good wind range weighing 83 kgs Cheers
Had a look at an Underground Crypt in the shop the other day, that thing was seriously light.
light doesn't equal good. a bit of weight and momentum in the board helps with rotations and off-axis balance, and makes it easier to get the board back down where it should be after a trick.
The North Team Series is the lightest board ive every ridden/picked up. Its Carbon fibre with a wood core. Huge pop and a lot of flex. Love it!
Contact Dan at Cardboards and actually speak to the manufacturer (07)4192 7227. Aussie made and top quality.
Not sure why you want the lightest but the North Team is lighter than the others mentioned.
I think this maybe including pads. North mentioned it weighs under 3kg's with pads and straps.
North Team Series 2012 - 134 x 40.0cm (2.3kg)
North Team Series 2012 - 137 x 41.0cm (2.5kg)
North Team Series 2012 - 140 x 42.0cm (2.6kg)
Unfortunately it comes at a price
What was your old board? Not asking to expose what broke, but i'm more interested in what you're coming from so we can recommend something...
In terms of weight, the Crazyfly Raptor LTD is very very light, as is the Cardboards Freeride (and much cheaper too!)
The North Team that Jason (BK) mentioned is extremely light also.
Select rides good through the chop but pops like a wet piece of celery. Team board 137 weighs 3.4kg with straps.
t the team
This is the lightest board I could find for ya mate:
Good luck with your kite flying goals of 2012.
The lightest twintip is the one that's attached to the guy, that's attached to the kite, that's been sent the hardest, in the heaviest wind. It will have a negative weight and the boost will be highly invigorating.

Airush FS Team at 1.7 kg is seriously light. I have been riding the laluz, very nice board. You do notice the extra weight when you jump to a different board.
I thought my 2011 Underground 135 x 42 Crypt (Carbon Fibre) was light and most people comment the same when they pick it up and have a feel. I just weighed it and it come in at 3.3kg's but IMHO I love it and reckon it is great board
