"The Odd Life of Timothy Green," a warm and lovely fantasy, is the kind of full-bodied family film being pushed aside in favor of franchises and slam-bang confusion. On a picture-postcard farm in the middle of endlessly rolling hills where it is always Indian Summer, a lovable boy comes into the life of a childless couple, and brings along great joy and wisdom.
Timothy isn't born and he isn't adopted. He seems to have grown in the garden. The movie very wisely makes no attempt to explain how this happened. His new parents have tried everything to conceive a child of their own, and one desperate night, they open a bottle of red wine and start making a list of the things their perfect child should have. This they put in a box and bury in their garden, and after a torrential downpour and a lightning storm — why, there's Timothy (CJ Adams), covered with wet earth and with leaves growing from his legs. Makes perfect sense to me. How about you?
"You can call us Cindy and Jim," say the bewildered Greens (Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton). Timothy says he'll just call them Mom and Dad. Awww. This clear-eyed and beautiful little boy has a knack for saying tactful things, but a tendency to lack information you might think he'd know — for example, the difference between the two goals in a soccer game.
The Greens hardly even attempt to explain his appearance in their house. During an untimely family reunion the very next day, Timothy is so direct and friendly, people sort of accept him. Not so much his grandfather (David Morse, who was a demanding parent to Jim), but certainly his lovable Uncle Bob and Aunt Mel (M. Emmet Walsh and Lois Smith). The supporting cast is rich with not only those actors, but a welcome selection of other familiar faces: Dianne Wiest as the mean-spirited supervisor of the local Pencil Museum, Shohreh Aghdashloo as an official of the state adoption agency, Ron Livingston and James Rebhorn as the son and father who own the pencil factory, and hip-hop star Common as the soccer coach.
About those pencils. The movie is set in Stanleyville, "The Pencil Capital of the World." Times are hard. Computers are making it tough on pencils, and the factory is threatened with closure. Timothy saves the day with an inspiration from his closest friend, a teenage girl named Joni Jerome, played by the sort of transcendent Odeya Rush. She rides around with her bicycle basket filled with brightly colored leaves, and although her origin is not mystical as Timothy's, she's an openhearted nature girl who completely agrees that if you have leaves growing from your calves, you must sometimes spread your arms and lift your face to the sun.
"The Odd Life of Timothy Green" is accessible to all but the youngest children, and I suspect their parents will enjoy it, too. It respects the integrity of its story by dealing with real emotions of loss and parting. It's intelligently constructed by writer-director Peter Hedges (who wrote "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "About a Boy"); instead of being simpleminded like too many family films, it treats the characters with care and concern. Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton are appealing together as far from perfect parents, and CJ Adams has that ability of so many child actors to be pitch-perfect.

At Flysurfer, every day is a kite day. The kites made by Flysurfer show that Germans can engineer more than just perfect cars. The passion Flysurfer products are made with allow riders to share their experiences and love for their sport. No matter where you kite, what style you use, how old you are, what conditions you're in, Flysurfer knows that once you get introduced to the sport, kiting will positively infect you.
The Viron kite is Flysurfer's introduction kite that is perfect to infect new kite boarders that maximizes safety, simplicity, ease of use and effortless relaunch. The Unity kite will provide mind blowing jumps in an unforgettable free ride session with a fast learning curve that earns it title by successfully replacing the Pulse2. The Flysurfer Psycho4 was designed for to be a freestyle machine as well with its Triple Depower System. Looking for a land and snowkite? The Outlaw is Flysurfer's offering that is the first high-depower land AND snow kite for boarders that proves that high-depower and open-cell kites can happily mingle. The Speed3 is the "ultimate flying machine", able to let boarders race, freestyle and cruise in all wind conditions.
Flysurfer Viron Kite - Get Infected
"The Flysurfer Viron Kite is the simplest and safest kite on the market"
The Flysurfer Viron Kite is not just any kite, it defines a class of its own. Maximum safety, optimally user-friendly, simplest relaunch and unbelievable stability. We don't know of another kite that combines all these features better. The Flysurfer Viron Kite is a kite for all beginners, kite schools, lightweights and for use with stand up paddleboards and gusty winds.
Flysurfer Viron Kite Auto Relaunch
When it comes to relaunch, we set a new kiteboarding benchmark with the Flysurfer Viron Kite . The Flysurfer Viron Kite is the first kite to incorporate Auto-Relaunch. Even in low winds, when letting go of the bar, the kite skims automatically across the water and remains parked and ready at the edge of the window. With just a simple steering impulse, the Flysurfer Viron Kite flies on. Furthermore we have built a special bridle into the kite that makes it practically impossible to get tangled on the water.
Flysurfer Viron Kite Easy & Simple Handeling
The Flysurfer Viron Kite delivers exactly the flight feeling you need for a safe entry into the sport. With all the functions and handling of a full-grown kitesurfing kite but with moderate power, the Flysurfer Viron Kite is at home wherever maximum safety and reliability are required. With gentle bar pressure and progressive bar feedback. Bothersome, long steering paths are unknown to the Flysurfer Viron Kite, you have access to the entire depower throw within an arms length. The Viron is the result of our constant attempt to construct a kite resistant to all operating errors. Including endless hard landings on the water.
Flysurfer Viron Kite Safety Maximized
With the Flysurfer Viron Kite, we introduce a new safety: The patented "Reefline-Safety". When the kiter activates the quick release, the leading edge of the Flysurfer Viron Kite immediately shrinks together, simultaneously the tips will lay against each other. The Flysurfer Viron Kite then blows out with a minimum of rest-pull and can be relaunched anytime, even by beginners. But this is just one of the features that make the Flysurfer Viron Kite an extraordinary safe kite. The enormous flight stability and a highly effective and directly-functioning depower give the pilot a safety cushion never before experienced. And just in case that isn't enough, the Flysurfer Viron Kite is equipped with a new safety release, dependable, quick and easy to operate.
Enormous Versatilty
The Flysurfer Viron Kitesurpasses all boundaries. This is a kite that makes it possible for children to get started in the sport. It is the answer for cautious or nervous kiters re-entering the sport after an accident. The Flysurfer Viron Kite is the storm kite for accomplished riders and at the same time, the kite that kiteschools have been wishfully waiting for. Stress-free fun, regardless of terrain and equipment. Whether on a mountainboard, with ice skates, in the waves, while snowkiting, with a mountain board, on a SUP or just on the beach. All these features make the Viron what we set it out to be during the development.

The Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard lives up to its name. Even sportier than its predecessor, the Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard is available on the market in four sizes. The Flyboards-Development team surrounding Andreas Hanrieder and Eddy Lansink did an excellent job, optimizing the Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard in practically all regards. The first priority was the switch in production center from Asia to Europe, which led to a higher quality of workmanship. Once this was implemented, a stronger differentiation of the range could be undertaken, whereby each board was tuned individually to riding weight and range of use.
Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard New Changes
1. New combination of wood-foam core
2. Torsion Fibre Layers
3. Heelside Channel
4. Tucked-under Edge
5. Grabrail
The additional Grabrails are absolutely soft, but still offer the best control for board-offs or one-footers. Thus, holding the board has become much easier. The Grabrails can easily be glued to the deck.
6. Straps & Pad
The new straps have a simple and quickly-adjustable Lace-System, previously proven with the wakeboard bindings. The enormous adjustment range provides a range of use from shoe size 38 (barefoot) to shoe size 48 (with neoprene boots).
Flysurfer Radical4 Kiteboard Features
|All Radical4s have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core comes into use on the toe side in the longtitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in weight. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core is used, guaranteeing break stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.
|The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional woven layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably higher torsion stiffness, which is reflected in the increased jump performance with nevertheless good comfort.
|The deep Heelside Channel provides good grip and makes it possible to set the edge more effectively for jumping.
|The "Tucked-Under" Edge has been cut off at a 45-degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board well-controllable, even in choppy conditions.
|The additional Grabrails are absolutely soft, but still offer the best control for board-offs or one-footers. Thus, holding the board has become much easier. The Grabrails can easily be glued to the deck.
|All of our boards have a special high-quality UV- and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.
|The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toeside outline increases control when riding toeside and provides increased comfort.
|Wider Insert Positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible - Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).

With the 2014 Flysurfer Peak we are taking the next step and after 1.5 years of development, our young developer from Belgium, Reinhard Paelink who is the head of the PEAK project has finally realised his dream and created the first single-skin kite with a huge depower range.
We always have an open system to developing new projects to give kitesports more variety and opportunities to achieve the best possible product. Ever since our brand was founded kite landboarding and Snowkiting have been integral parts of Flysurfer's development outlook. This is why the development of strong performing land-kites is as close to our hearts as the development of kitesurf products. With the PEAK we are taking the next step and after 1.5 years of development, our young developer from Belgium, Reinhard Paelink who is the head of the PEAK project has finally realised his dream and created the first single-skin kite with a huge depower range. The PEAK sets new standards in regards to low-end power, pack size and weight. The extreme weight reduction accomplished by removing the bottom sail allows the kite to generate a lot more power. Creating a single skin kite with depower is an incredibly difficult and complex challenge. It has been achieved by combining knowledge from soft kites, inflatable kites and paragliding with creativity and a lot of fine tuning to create a completely new solution.
Added value
The PEAK is your personal lift to the summit of mountains. No pre inflating the kite or pumping – you are ready to go immediately. The lightest breeze and the PEAK will pull you to locations which previously seemed unreachable. The PEAK is super easy to handle even in extreme low wind conditions allowing you to get going earlier. However the PEAK is also easy to control in strong winds due to the direct and effective depower. To recap – you can have super easy control in light and strong winds with only one kite size and a super small pack size. For individual preference you can adjust the bar setup between freestyle or touring mode. Additionally we put a great deal into the PEAK's build quality giving the durability associated with Flysurfer products. Besides the super small pack size, the real showstopper is how quick to set up the PEAK is. In seconds the PEAK can be unpacked and ready to fly. It can be launched and landed from any surface without any assistance and quickly packed away in its backpack. The PEAK saves time and hassle and offers you absolute independence.
When it comes to safety – we do not compromise! The PEAK has incredible stability in gusty conditions and an effective and direct depower. The 4-line bar is lightweight and very compact. When activated, the frontline safety (FLS) makes the PEAK flag out downwind with minimal pull. The Infinity 2.0 quick release can be re-assembled within seconds so your PEAK is ready to fly again. Backstall landings for short snowkite breaks work even easier with single-skin kites.
Universal Application
The PEAK is available in 6.0m and 9.0m ready-to-fly including control bar and lines. The PEAK is ideally suited for backcountry touring, freeride Snowkiting, kite landboarding or buggying and of course for expeditions or teaching. With short lines it is also great for urban street kiting. The PEAK fits easily in any travel bag so you can always take the PEAK with you on your next trip. Super simple and easy handling makes it ideal for children or beginners. The PEAK can be ordered with a special kite bag which is a super light trekking backpack equipped with an integrated harness. Put your hydration pack in it and you are good to go. The straps are fixed around your waist and thighs and the chickenloop attaches through metal loops. This saves on packing a bulky and heavy harness when you want to travel light. The PEAK can be set up anywhere and is ready to go immediately, no matter where – on a snow plateau, in a field, on the beach, on asphalt or even in the dessert. Lift your game with the new PEAK by Flysurfer!
2014 Flysurfer Peak Features
Innovative single-skin depower concept
This is a first in the kite market! Compared to its ram-air double-skin cousins in our line-up, the PEAK has no bottom sail resulting in a huge reduction in weight and more performance per square metre. The power is controllable due to the efficiency of the PEAK's depower system. The PEAK definitely sets new standards in regards to low-end, wind-range and pack size.
Unbelievable low-end performance
No other depower kite will get you going as early as the PEAK. At 3 to 4 knots the PEAK is ready to go on snow or land and handles well.
Great depower range
The PEAK has a lot of power per square metre considering that it is a depower kite. Due to reinforcements on the trailing edge as well as the leading edge the PEAK keeps its profile when being depowered giving it a great wind-range. The PEAK 6.0m feels like a conventional 10m soft-kite or leading edge inflatable kite. It is usable from 3 to 4 knots up to 20 knots (even more with shorter lines). This can save you the purchase of additional kites for the same wind-range.
Minimalistic pack-size
Due to a super small pack-size of only 56x13x13cm for a 6.0m ready-to-fly PEAK – it fits easily in any travel bag. This can save costs on additional sports equipment charges. It is the perfect kite to squeeze into your bags when going on your annual family ski holiday and we are sure you will not be the only one to enjoy it!
Ultra light
The light weight of only 1.58kg (6.0m ready-to-fly) is one of a kind. When going on a skiing tour the PEAK is not an extra burden but a great toy that may even get you to spots you had not thought of before. It is light enough to carry when there is only a small possibility of a snowkite session on a mountain plateau or in the back-country. Due to its light weight the PEAK can be looped easily even in light winds making climbing mountains a breeze.
Ultra light bar-setup
For individual preference you can adjust the ultra light bar setup from freeride mode into touring mode within seconds. To do this simply re-adjust the trimmer knot.
No compromise on safety
The 4-line bar is lightweight and very compact. When activated, the frontline safety (FLS) makes the PEAK flag out downwind with minimal pull. The Infinity 2.0 quick release can be re-assembled within seconds so your PEAK is ready to fly again.
Quality of workmanship and durability
With the PEAK we remain true to our Flysurfer philosophy to make our products durable. As an additional service we offer the Flysurfer 6-month free repair warranty.
Fast and easy handling
No pre-inflating or pumping is necessary – the PEAK unpacks extremely quickly and is ready to go in the blink of an eye. The PEAK can be launched and landed on any kind of surface unassisted. Being easy to handle and quick to pack up after a session saves you time and a lot of hassle. This independence opens up a lot of possibilities.
Touring bag with integrated kite harness
This optional extra is a light trekking backpack with an integrated harness in which you can put conventional hydration packs. The straps on the touring bag attach around your waist and thighs and the chicken loop attaches via a special metal loops. This saves the need to bring a standard bulky and heavy harness. This bag is not a harness replacement, its designed for maximum weight savings for expeditions and freeriding.
Universal application
On land or snow, with a landboard or buggy, skis or snowboards, freeride to teaching purposes, adults or children, begginers or advanced. The PEAK is your ultimate travel companion and a lot more. We might even see the occasional PEAK out on the water…

The Flysurfer Flydoor 5 has enormous light wind potential is guaranteed through the optimized design details (dimensions, optimized rocker curves and a balanced mix of core materials). The proven center fin, which has resulted in various international competitions wins in the TwinTip racing class, remains a success, adding that last bit of performance advantage. But how good is all that performance, if the rider cannot extract it from the board? With the Flysurfer Flydoor 5 we provide you with easy riding and comfortable handling. Besides relaxing freeriding, you can also enjoy a variety of twin tip tricks or try out a strapless session and surprise yourself.
Who would have thought that the ʺConcept of the Doorʺ – a relatively large kiteboard specifically developed for lighter winds – would be around for so many years… But there is always something which can be improved further. The Flysurfer Flydoor 5 has a performance oriented focus, which means it allows riders to start planing and go upwind as early as possible, in the easiest possible way.
The new footstrap system ʺGalaxyʺ combined with the ʺSpaceʺ footpads guarantee intergalactic feeling to your feet and provide sublime hold. The innovative Click'n'Ride fin system allows for dismantling the matt white G-10 fins in just seconds and saves your beloved boards from scratches during transport.
Elegance and Quality
With the black and white design, we have managed to design a timeless and very sophisticated look. The many graphic details in the design tell a fantastic story. Since we produce our Flysurfer kiteboards in Europe and can ensure the lowest production tolerances possible, one can expect a high quality and purely perfected kiteboard. The Flydoor5, a refined board for the demanding riders of today. The Flydoor5 enables you to catch every breath of wind and thus enjoy every minute on the water – everyday is a kiteday!
New Space Pads and Galaxy Straps
The new and improved Space Pads – with more grip and very good damping characteristics for soft landing – and the high-grade Galaxy Straps – which allow for a perfect fit and hold, round off the Flydoor5 package. These straps can be adjusted on both sides and can be used from shoe size EU 39 (barefoot) to about size EU 48 (with neoprene shoes).
New Click and Ride Fin System
The innovative quick release fin system allows for a disassembly of fins in seconds. Whether for traveling or just to protect your car or other equipment during transport, this system will make the your kite life easier.
Center Fin
The Flydoor5 has a 8cm long centre-fin on the heel-side. The centre fin increases the upwind performance especially in lightwind and makes it able to ride the board flat.
Wood & Foam Core
All Flydoor5 boards have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core comes into use on the toe side in the longitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in weight. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core is used, guaranteeing breaking stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.
Made in the EU
Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.
Torsion Fibre Layers
The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional woven layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably higher torsion stiffness, which is reflected in increased jumping performance while remaining good comfort.
The core thickness on the board tips is only 2mm. This allows for supreme board control in overpowered conditions. When too much pressure occurs, the tip flexes upwards and gives you the impression you are riding a much smaller board. Loaded jumps are made easy!
Tucked Under Edge Rails
The "Tucked-Under" Edge has been cut off at a 45 degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board very controllable, even in choppy conditions and reduces spray.
Light Weight
With their low weight of 3.4kg and 3.7kg for the Flydoor5 L and XL respectively, the Flydoors belong to the lightest low-wind kiteboards on the market. Better riding characteristics guaranteed.
Asymmetric Outline
The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toe-side outline increases control when riding toe-side and provides increased maneuverability while carving.
Scratch Proof Topsheet
All of our boards have a special high-quality UV and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The graphic design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.
Wide Stance
Wider insert positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible – Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).

The all new Flysurfer FlySplit combines the opportunity to dissemble the board in the middle with the performance of a normal kiteboard. This is the crucial feature that wins extra space when traveling, whilst maintaining that the kiteboard performs just as well as a Radical or Flydoor. Innovation has always been one of Flysurfer's highest aspirations when it comes to product development. This self-set aim motivates the development team surrounding Andi Hanrieder every day to create new ideas. One of these truly innovative products is the new boardline, FlySplit.
2014 Flysurfer FlySplit Highlights
Save when traveling - Especially helpful in these times of ever increasing excess baggage fees, charged by airlines on route to your favorite kite destinations, the FlySplit gives you the opportunity to dissemble your kiteboard easily and quickly so that it fits into your travel-bag. This innovation ensures that you won't ever have to wait the extra minutes -or hours- at the beginning and end of your journey with check in and collection of your sporting luggage. The benefits are not exclusive to air-travel, when reaching your kite spot in a smaller car, or even in a sports car, the FlySplit offers you great flexibility. You might also take the chance to give your friend a lift to the spot, something which would otherwise be near impossible.
Precise manufacture of a high quality construction - To meet the high demands on this product, we've invested three years of intense testing and developing the FlySplit to create a kiteboard which is more than just a separable kiteboard. Thanks to our manufacturing in Europe we can guarantee that the FlySplits are produced with the best resources. By using only the best material, we achieve riding characteristics which combine both comfort and high performance. The splitting construction is impressively simple. The zigzag construction joins easily together and needs only to be fixed with a metal splint on both sides. In the centre and the edges of the board we use a full-wood-core to ensure great durability and dynamic performance. For the less stressed areas like the tips we use a light-foam-construction to save unnecessary weight. Due to this construction the FlySplits offers great performance but also a great deal of comfort in choppy and gusty conditions.
One system – two sizes - The FlySplit M in size 134cm x 41cm is made for those riders who love the high performance of the Radical. With the FlySplit M you do not have to miss out on neither an extreme pop for hooked or unhooked jumps nor fantastic up-wind performance. The FlySplit L is available in 160cm x 44cm. Heavier riders and kiters who do not want to miss out in light winds will love this board. The FlySplit L has a centre fin on the heel-side to increase the maximum up-wind performance. The innovative FlySplit M and FlySplit L have very low board weights, coming in at 2.55 kilograms and 3.15 kilograms respectively. This makes traveling even more fun.
Summary - The FlySplits are great allrounders, which should not be left out on any travel, whether with plane, sports car or motorcycle. Due to the fantastic opportunity of splitting the boards in half, the FlySplits are a proper alternative to normal boards on the kitesurfing market. Thanks to a three year development phase, we can guarantee that the FlySplits perform like excellent kiteboards, but are still seperable. Thus there is no compromise on quality and performance.
2014 Flysurfer FlySplit Features
The Split-System makes the FlySplits to the first separable kiteboards that do not compromise in performance.
It only takes a few seconds to easily and quickly assemble a FlySplit. Through the zigzag construction both board parts join and are fixed by two metal splints. From the car onto the water in only a in a twinkling
No more checking in sports luggage and paying extra fees when you travel. The FlySplit M fits in your normal travel bag (common bag size: 75x52x31cm). For the FlySplit "L" please compare the pack size of the board with the internal dimensions of your suit case prior to your flight.
With their low weight of 2.55kg and 3.15kg for the FlySplit M and FlySplit L respectively, the FlySplits belong to the lightest kiteboards on the market. No extra luggage and better riding characteristics guaranteed.
All FlySplits have a hybrid core, aimed at achieving a maximum harmony of board weight, performance and durability. A foam core comes into use on the toe side in the longitudinal direction, providing a significant reduction in weight. On the side with more load, the heel side, a robust wood core is used, guaranteeing breaking stability and the dynamic recovery force of the board.
The innovative assembly of a unidirectional woven layer lengthwise and an additional woven layer (torsion layer) at a 45-degree-angle achieves considerably higher torsion stiffness, which is reflected in increased jumping performance with nevertheless good comfort.
All of our boards have a special high-quality UV and scratch-resistant coating, and thus offer a long product life. The graphic design is protected under the coating, so that it does not get damaged if the board is slightly scratched.
The "Tucked-Under" Edge has been cut off at a 45 degree-angle, as surfboards have been manufactured traditionally. This makes the board very controllable, even in choppy conditions and reduces spray.
Wider insert positions make it easier to land. There are three different stance options possible - Small (50.4 cm), Normal (56.2 cm) and Wide (61.2 cm).
The FlySplit L has a 8cm long centre-fin on the heel-side. The centre fin increases the upwind performance especially in lightwind.
The asymmetrical rounder and shorter toe-side outline increases control when riding toe-side and provides increased maneuverability while carving.
Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.

The Razor becomes a machine when going downwind. Even in the lightest winds it gains speed rapidly when you head upwind. The board is designed in a way that you can edge and ride it similar to a twin tip. Tacking and jibing become incredibly easy with the Razor. Due to its high speed, it glides very well even in gusty conditions. From now on you won't need anyone to give you a lift after a downwinder, since riding upwind is so fast and easy. If you want to go touring, enter some fun races or slalom events, ride lakes or even boost a couple of jumps – the Razor will handle it. The Razor is a very unique board, offering maximum fun and the thrill of speed in a simple and durable package. Ride it fast!
The most important feature and the key to the unbelievable performance are the 25cm long fins, which offer the best compromise between user experience, ease of use, and performance. We are extremely proud of the new fin boxes. It is a massive challenge adding fin boxes to a snowboard construction board. The innovative mini-tuttle-box-solution connects the fins with the super thin board (16mm). Another highlight of the Razor is the extremely pressure resistant and light Airex foam core which is laminated with a robust layer. Due to this layer the Razor is extremely durable and easy to transport. The top layer is coated with an anti-slip paint to make switching stances easier and to give you a more secure stance. Unlike conventional race boards the Razor has some flex which gives it a more comfortable ride. The package is rounded off with four footstraps and comfortable angled pads. The Razor is the only board of its kind.
Every day is a kite day at Flysurfer and the Razor is here to help with that by making kitesurfing fun even in conditions in which you might not even have thought it possible to ride. The Razor is a performance orientated freeride directional board which is built with super sturdy snowboard technology. You will get more days on the water and super light winds will become fun! We did not want to build a super fragile and bulky sandwich volume board, nor did we want a high performance machine which for most people is un-rideable. We just wanted a board which was really fast, helped us get on the water even more often, and have as much fun as possible despite marginal wind conditions.
Flysurfer Razor Construction
The Flysurfer Razor's innovative construction means the Razor takes up less space in your board bag when travelling than any other race board, and also is a lot more resistant to dents and possible damage. The Flysurfer Razor's extremely tough construction is finished with a robust top sheet, laminated with an anti-slip coating to help your feet maintain grip when adjusting your stance.
We have high standards for quality so only use the best materials in order to guarantee the best results even if that means higher production costs. The Flysurfer Razor's extremely light and reinforced Airex foam core forms the basis of the Razor. The glass fibre laminate gives it the necessary stiffness for a fun riding experience. As always Flysurfer has paid close attention to durability and longevity.
Flysurfer Razor Features
|One of the biggest challenges was fitting robust fin boxes into such a thin board. We were successful in integrating the mini-tuttle-boxes which allows us to be the first kiteboarding company to release a board like this. The Razor comes with three 25cm long G-10 fins. This is currently the most robust material for kite fins and offers the best flex to stiffness ratio.
|The Razor is delivered with a specially made pad-strap combination. The EVA pads offer a great grip and are raised at an angle allowing you to ride the Razor flat on the water more easily. This also offers good comfort for riding in wavey or choppy conditions as well as allowing you to jump. The straps can be adjusted at either side using a Velcro system and fit a size EU 39 up to 46 easily.
|Never has it been so easy to get on the water in light winds. This is due to the way the fins are positioned and shaped, the shape of the deck, tucked under edge and the flex. The Razor is a little harder to ride than the Flydoor however it is a lot easier than most race boards – without sacrificing too much in regards to performance. The main reason it is a lot easier than a race board is that you can ride it on its edge like a normal twin-tip for a few metres to get going. When you get the hang of it you will be hooked on the thrill of speed in light wind conditions and the amazing upwind performance. The Razor shows its real potential in light wind and flat water conditions.
|Thanks to our manufacturing process within Europe we can guarantee highest quality and the usage of only the best materials.

The flysurfer flysplit can be split in half for easy transportation but by using the unique W shaped connection and braces it has the same rigidity as a one piece board. When you assemble the flysurfer flysplit you will notice that it is very light weight particularly for its generous width. One of the primary reasons it is easy to assemble is due to the wood-foam core that gives the flysurfer its strength and rigidity. The flysurfer flysplit also comes with a default "wide stance" which lets you get the greatest amount of stability possible for more control and super comfortable position in all conditions. The Flysurfer Flysplit L is the best way to travel and be able to enjoy light wind conditions. The Flysurfer Flysplit is being used by everyone from beginners to experts. It is sutable for all skill levels even for those trying out kiteboarding for the first time. We are looking at the all-new Flysurfer Flysplit board which is the perfect balance of stylish form and cutting edge function.

Its going to be a wet day tomorrow, but the NYC Dumpling Festival is on, rain or shine. Your Grub Street editor, Daniel Mosca Maurer, is coming out of competitive-eating retirement and might just strap the fairy, er, fly, wings on for this one. Competition for the $1,000 top prize is going to be tough: While twenty women will compete against each other, there will be no fewer than 40 dudes downing dumplings starting at 1 p.m., including the winner for the past five years, "Gentleman" Joe Menchetti. Last year, he gulped down 66 of them in two minutes, at an astonishing rate of 1.1 dumplings every two seconds. (The womens finalist, Floria Lee, managed 38 dumplings). And this year, Menchetti tells ESPN Radio that he plans to top 75. If, through some sort of masticatory miracle, we manage to beat that, come find us your $5 plates are on us.

hotel was old, but it was clean and the staff was very helpful. There is no parking here, however, we parked right outside the front door and had no issues.

Not worthy of hotels.comPosted Oct 22, 2013 on Hotels.com
At the front desk of the hotel, I was told that I would have to pay cash upfront for the room - in spite of already paying through hotels.com. They would not accept the hotels.com reservation/confirmation. "Someone" would give me the cash back the next day. I've lived in Mexico long enough to know that it means "never." Even so, there are better hotels than this in Ensenada at even the low price here.

Don't expect too much.Posted Aug 27, 2013
Pros: Comfortable setting located away from the action but close to everything in the city. Is do it again.
Cons: Beds and. Carpet should be washed periodically.
The plan was to just sleep for a few hours and leave. For the money, you get for what you pay. The bedsdont look too clean and the carpeting definitely needs a wash. Apart from that its cozy. Just not a place to spend your day in.

Not so suite!Posted Aug 6, 2013
Pros: The room was big and cheap.
Cons: Parking and room comfort.
Location: It's near the down town area. You can shop, eat, and drink all in one place. Good location and only one block from the beach.
You get what you pay for!! Positive things about it: Room was big, great shower, and nice big balcony. Negative things: The bed was extremely hard, dusty furniture, remote didnt work for the tv, and the toilet handle was broken. There was also a door missing between the living room and the room therefore you can hear everything that was going on outside in the hall ways, and none of the doors closed correctly. Overall, out stay was okay but the hotel needs a lot of upgrades.

Perfect location. Disappointing amenities.Posted Jul 15, 2013
Pros: Staff was nice and friendly.
Cons: Rooms need to be updated. At least the bedding and towels. Everything seemed dirty and old.
Location: Location is great!
We got there early, but were told to come back at a later time. We came back and the room was still not ready. Had to wait an extra 1/2 hour to get the room. Bedding on the bed was torn...room was neat but everything is old and rundown. Guess were by the pool ALL night laughing and drinking. Did not get enough sleep because of the noise. No staff at night to control situation. Not a family friendly Hotel. Lots of adults drinking by the pool and guess were making a lot of noise. Will not stay at this Hotel in the future. Expensive for what we got in return. Should have booked a better hotel and pay the extra $20.00 dollars. I would have been worth it. NO PARKING at the Hotel.

Updated On: Oct 31 2013 07:13:08 AM CDT
The North Shore Fire Department said a 90-year-old woman was dead at the scene of a Shorewood duplex fire.
It's not yet known if she was dead before the fire started or because of it.
The fire started about 9 p.m. at Murray Avenue and Kensington Boulevard.

The rear of the home was fully engulfed in flames. The fire started in the kitchen, North Shore Fire Chief Robert Whitaker said.
The victim lived in the bottom floor unit of the duplex. No one else was injured, the fire department said.
Fire crews from Mequon, Menomonee Falls, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa were called in to assist.
State fire marshal has been called, which is standard procedure for a fatal fire.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined. Inspectors are expected to return Thursday morning to continue their investigation.

Sister Wives Recap: So Much Jealousy!by Free Britney at . Comments
"Sometimes, I don't like this."
Pretty much. Being married to one woman is hard enough. Imagine four! Or think about sharing your husband with three other women. Not what we signed up for ...
Only for Kody Brown and his quartet of spouses, they did sign up for it. This is what they do, and like all of us, their lives feature drama and tension beneath the surface.
Unlike all of us, there's a TLC show devoted to the Browns ...
So what went down last night? While Kody was excited to announce the sex of Robyn's baby, he reflected on the problems he faced with his first three marriages.
Marriages that are still going on, of course.
Christine, with whom he's currently having serious marital discord, expressed frustration with the family's new Las Vegas living situation. It's been an adjustment.
She is lonely. She feels Kody coddles Robyn, although she adores Kody and Robyn. It's just that he leaves for four days at a time, and frankly that blows (our words).The Brown Bomber muses that "jealousy creeps in when one wife says in her mind 'he loves her more than me.'" Dude, when ya got four of 'em, that's inevitable.
In spite of all that, Kody is quick to note that "I've loved [Christine] all my life." Ditto first wife Meri, whom he calls his "soul mate," and who's in it for the long haul.
With Janelle, Kody says their strongest bond is their kids. Speaking of, Robyn's unborn child, the family's 17th in all, is totes going to be a ... boy baby! NICE!
When Robyn told the doctor that Kody had four wives and 17 kids, his reaction was just priceless, even though he had to know it was coming, being filmed and all.
His take? "That's, I guess, cool." I guess. Gotta love Nevada, where people could pretty much not give a bleep as long as you're otherwise law-abiding. And paying.
That brings us to Kody's other goal, besides marital stability. Dude isn't made of money, and that is a lot of mouths to feed. So how will he accomplish that task?
By going into business with all four of his wives. Somehow. His initial idea is a family food franchise that is health oriented. The wives? Less than enthusiastic.
Hey, TLC isn't gonna front all their living costs for life. Better figure something out, gang. What did you think of this installment of Sister Wives? Sound off below!
i personally could not do it but they have an amazing bond and i think it is cool they can do it. i dont think it is fair for ppl to judge them because i look at it like this how many ppl have kids and baby mamas they dont see or take care of this man has 20 ppl he is involved with that deserves credit all in itself
I have tolerance for this lifestyle/belief system, but it still seems so foreign to me, as well as demeaning and downright icky!And why doesn't it work both ways? Where are the women with multiple husbands, servicing them?
I have No desire to see this show. By all indications, it makes a mockery out of (the word) marriage. No 2 women are going to be able to get along when they are in "lust" with the same man. No 2 women are going to be able to have a genuine interest in each other's goodwill when both women want the same man. Enough said!!

November 27, 2014
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A defense lawyer in the O.J. Simpson robbery and kidnapping trial says the evidence will show that the disgraced NFL star simply wanted to recover stolen personal effects.
Simpson is accused of robbing sports memorabilia dealers in a Las Vegas hotel room. But lawyer Yale Galanter says the evidence will not show that Simpson intended to commit a crime. He says Simpson was trying to retrieve pictures of his deceased parents -- not sports memorabilia.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Chris Owens played an audio recording of the hotel room confrontation and pointed out one voice barking, "Don't let nobody outta here."
Simpson could face life in prison with the possibility of parole if convicted of kidnapping, and mandatory prison time if convicted of armed robbery.

Written by Liz Krieger, photographed by Steve LaBadessa, and styled by Leka Dobbs
No matter how you're carrying your baby – big all over, carrying high, carrying low, or tiny all over – flatter your figure with tricks from top stylists Alison Deyette, Amy Tara Koch (author of Bump It Up), and Leka Dobbs.
From puffy face to swollen ankles, you want to signal that you're pregnant, not fat! Your goal: Emphasize length, not width.
From puffy face to swollen ankles, you want to signal that you're pregnant, not fat! Your goal: Emphasize length, not width.
Layer a long, drapey sweater (Crush, Oakland, CA, $52) in a neutral hue (khaki, tan, gray, or black) over a dark, body-skimming shirt or tank top (Michael Stars at Mom's the Word, $54). Instantly slenderize and elongate your legs with a pair of dark denim pants (Japanese Weekend, $98) in either a boot cut or trouser cut over a low-heeled, pointy-toed boot (Enzo Angiolini, $99.99). Be sure that the hem of the pants hits an inch or two above the floor – any higher will shorten your legs; longer and you may look sloppy.
Draw the eyes up with dangle earrings (Nordstrom Rack, $13). A long patterned scarf (Banana Republic, $59.50) or a few fun long necklaces (Nordstrom Rack, $49.97) and an oversize bag with a long strap (Crush, Oakland, CA, $68) will add further length to this look.
Your baby rides so low on your frame that you look overdue. Your goal: Rebalance your proportions by drawing attention elsewhere.
Make your limbs appear longer beneath your low-slung belly with a knee-grazing pencil skirt (Paige Premium Denim at Mom's the Word, $174) in a dark stretchy denim or other dark fabric paired with comfy wedges (Plushing Bride by Aerosoles, $69). Then draw attention upward with a V-neck top (Funmum at Mommy Appelseed, $58) in a bold color and a pair of dangling chandelier earrings (Target, $8) or a chunky necklace.
Choose tops that are long in the torso so they adequately cover the expanding real estate below! A colorful leather purse (Steve Madden at Nordstrom, $112) pulls the look together.
Your baby rides so low on your frame that you look overdue. Your goal: Rebalance your proportions by drawing attention elsewhere.
A V-neck Empire-waist top (Olian Maternity, $93) lends definition to your figure, raises the eye upward, and accentuates your blossoming bustline. Sassy sunglasses (Jessica Simpson, www.zappos.com, $59) and hoop earrings (Nordstrom Rack, $7.97) keep the focus up top. Throw on a shorter open cardigan (Liz Lange Maternity for Target, $19.99) to help even out your proportions. And since a low belly can make legs look stumpy, lengthen yours with boot-cut dark pants in a jersey knit or stretch denim paired with a slightly pointed flat (Steven by Steve Madden, $110).
Breast and belly have merged into one – you're an apple on a stick. Your goal: Use a little flare here, a little cinch there, to create a leaner, more feminine silhouette.
To separate bust from baby, consider a color-blocked frock (Olian Maternity, $90) with one hue up top, another down below. Pair with comfy canvas shoes (Toms, $44), a necklace and bangles (Nordstrom, $49 each), and a colorful bag (Orla Kiely, $168), and you're ready for fun!
Another option: A simple timeless wrap dress in a jersey knit will help you feel instantly elegant, while giving much-needed definition to your torso. You can also add a skinny belt to a breezy shirtdress above your bump to help break up your top half.
Breast and belly have merged into one – you're an apple on a stick. Your goal: Use a little flare here, a little cinch there, to create a leaner, more feminine silhouette.
Look for a top in silk or stretch jersey (Japanese Weekend, $72) with ruching below the bust line, which helps distinguish your breasts from your belly. To help your legs appear less sticklike in comparison to your voluptuous breasts and belly, pair with a slightly flared pant (Japanese Weekend, $80). Flatter your face and draw the eye upward with a signature necklace and bold sunglasses (Jaye Hersh at Target, $14.99). A studded clutch (Urban Expressions, $40) and faux snakeskin flats (Franco Sarto, $79) crank up the fashion wattage of this look.
You look like a python that swallowed a basketball, and you're having trouble finding clothes that fit. Your goal: Showcase your belly and add dimension to your boyish figure.
A top (Olian Maternity, $80) with gathers or ruching along the sides will add a ripe roundness to your growing belly. Other good options for curve enhancement: shirts with a bit of embellishment -- either a ruffle, a bow, rolled-up sleeves, something to pump up the intrigue and carve more shape.
Give your bottom half a lift with a body-skimming straight-leg or boot-cut pant or jean (Maternal America at Mommy Appelseed, $96) with bum-boosting patch pockets. Hoop earrings (Nordstrom Rack, $12) and a statement necklace (Crush, Oakland, CA $16) add more depth to this outfit, while a metallic clutch (Crush, Oakland, CA $38) and bejeweled flats (Sam Edelman, $99) bring on the bling!
You look like a python that swallowed a basketball, and you're having trouble finding clothes that fit. Your goal: Showcase your belly and add dimension to your boyish figure.
You're one of the lucky few who can embrace horizontal stripes even while you're pregnant. The pattern will help accentuate your growing belly and add curves to your slim figure. Opt for a stretchy, body-skimming top (Cocoon top by Nuka at Mommy Appelseed, $62) paired with skinny or straight-leg jeans or leggings (Japanese Weekend, $44). (Steer clear of blousy or super-wide-leg pants, which can swallow you up.) Pair with a slightly pointed flat (Michael Kors, $98), Lucite bangles (Forever 21, $8), oversize shades (Quay Fashions Australia, $25), and a hip bag (Diesel, $580) for a fresh and fabulous take on an Audrey Hepburn-inspired look.

Grazia's Zoe Beaty, a committed meat-eater, went vegan for one night only - and left pleasantly surprised...
It's Vegetarian Week - but, on Wednesday, I went one better. At the Hyatt Regency - The Churchill Hotel's Montagu restaurant, I sampled the all new, all vegan menu developed by LA chef Ali Parvinjah - and I was suitably impressed.
Veganism has recently taken Hollywood by storm, with celebs like Beyoncé, Victoria Beckham and Anne Hathaway leading the way when it comes to the ultimate diet for clean-living. In case it's passed you by, unlike vegetarians, vegans don't consume anything which was produced by an animal - including all dairy products.
"Vegan dishes guarantee serious health-boosting benefits - think glowing skin and higher energy levels," says Ali told us. "Eating even a semi-vegan diet for 60-70% of the day can benefit overall health and weight loss, as well as allowing the body to absorb more goodness from non-vegan foods when eaten at other times."
To put it to the test properly, I (a meat-eater) took my vegan housemate, Marika - who gave up meat and dairy 15 years ago - to sample the menu. She, like so many others, finds it difficult to eat out even in London, where vegan restaurants are few and far between.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the menu: ranging from aubergine caviar to hemp crusted teriyaki Portobello mushroom fillets… to ice cream, cheesecake, and a full vegan cheese board to finish. It was undoubtedly impressive, as was the setting: though it felt luxurious, it wasn't intimidating. We were instantly relaxed as we took our window seat, and a live pianist created just enough background buzz to warm the night.
Our table at the Hyatt Regency's Montagu Restaurant
A cold butternut squash, coconut milk, thyme and nutmeg bisque served with ciabatta croutons was the perfect start - and the dishes which followed simply got better. The quinoa, red lentil and soyrizo stuffed pepper, with caramelized kale, sauce provencal, crispy shallot and flat leaf parsley was something that I would order in a non-vegan setting, and we were both incredibly impressed by the delectable vegan 'cheese' - soaked and blended walnuts - sent out as part of an extra beetroot-based dish by the chef.
And what could be better than guilt free ice cream to finish? Sweetened only with fresh berries, and garnished with almond biscotti, it was so delicious I could have eaten the whole tub. And still not felt guilty. Whilst the cheesecake - held together using extra-virgin coconut oil - wasn't quite sweet enough for me, Marika's raw pecan pie was very tasty. What's more, it was served with more ice cream - baklava flavoured and espresso.
Raw Cashew Chocolate Ice Cream at The Montagu
Whereas, according to Marika, most vegan options are depressingly monotonous, each dish on this menu had been worked at and perfected. Every course delivered a fresh hit of flavours and textures and was extremely filling.
All in all, our dinner was priced at a very reasonable £50 - three courses for just £25 each. I might not be giving up the dairy just yet, but The Montagu's new menu certainly has opened my eyes to eating more vegan-based dishes. But in contrast to Hollywood's finest, for me, the health benefits are an added bonus - I'm in simply because of the taste. Are you?
The vegan menu at The Montagu, Hyatt Regency - London, The Churchill Hotel is available now.

A Sporty Package Does Not Necessarily Make a Sporty Crossover To say that the Lexus RX crossover has been the brand's sales success is an understatement. Last month, the Japanese automaker sold 7,357 units out of the brand's 18,235 total sales – nearly every other vehicle leaving a Lexus showroom is an RX. Introduced in 1998, the RX immediately established a name for itself. While other automakers were still offering truck-like sport utility vehicles, Lexus built its new crossover on its ES sedan platform. Enthusiasts looked the other way, but the bulk of the marketplace embrac... Read More

The 2015 Detroit Auto Show is shaping up to be a big one for Lexus, with Group Vice President Jeff Bracken confirming to Ward's Auto that the Japanese luxury marque will have at least one, and possibly two, all-new-model introductions.

Don't let its supremely polarizing appearance fool you, this is not the Lexus LF-NX Concept that you (probably) had a strong reaction to when it debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Historically, the Toyota Harrier has been a doppelgänger for North America's Lexus RX – at some points, it was little more than a badge-swap and a few options away, at least aesthetically.

The Lexus RX shares much with the Toyota Highlander, but its more direct counterpart is the Toyota Harrrier. Never heard of it?

The big deal is that the new Harrier ...

It certainly isn't the sexiest car to debut here at the Geneva Motor Show, but let's be honest: the Lexus RX crossover is hugely important, especially in the U.S. market.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky coach Rich Brooks has announced the indefinite suspension of tailback Brandon Jackson.
Brooks said in a statement Monday that the freshman was suspended for an unspecified violation of team rules.
Jackson is the second Kentucky player suspended in a week for a rules violation. Last week, cornerback Paul Warford was suspended indefinitely.

"The black and gold option was perfect for me! I like simple, classic designs and this one fit the bill! The message addressed the season as well as blessings for the year to come. I did use the Pearl White Shimmer Paper and love the look although I don't have the other to compare it to. The option of envelopes was a plus; I didn't want to add extra postage!!"
"I wanted a simple card that would highlight the photo I chose. This one is perfect. I chose the rounded edges rather than the one displayed. Tiny prints comes through again!"
"I hadn't done a picture card in a long time and was very happy with the results! Quality of paper is very good, pictures are a good size even though there are four of them! Very satisfied!"
"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"The card is wonderful, exactly what we expected. Thick cardstock, matte finish, able to write on the back with a black or red sharpie - if you want. Picture was clear, centered the way we wanted it, caption was as we created it. The envelopes we selected were the ones that would NOT require extra postage. They were fine for us, although the envelope had extra room on each side once the card was inserted, we didn't care. Some people looking for the EXACT fit of card to envelope - take note. The only negative for us was the amount of money it would have taken to get these cards sent from tinyprints to us --overnight or two day was exorbitant. PLAN AHEAD and have these arrive in advance, and you'll be happy, happy, happy!"

Knick players think Garden crowd should cheer Jeremy Lin tomorrow
Jeremy Lin makes his MSG return tomorrow night with the Rockets in what should be another interesting night at the Garden.
