I picked up this board in early August 08. I decided to go with the Jimmy Lewis 6’5 Chamber this time instead of the 6’3 that I previously had. I figured that for the over head days here in Cape Hatteras it would be a decent board to surf. The 6’5 floats a lot more than the 6’3. The 6’5 Chamber feels much larger under your feet while kitesurfing. It feels easier become overpowered on.
That being said, I really like the larger size board. This is because its easier to “surf” the wave with the larger board. You get to feel more of a surfing feel while your on the wave. The durability of the Chamber has really been proven to me by my first 6’3 Chamber, which I rode hard all season and finally creased the board last early summer. The Chamber 6’5 is a great board but would not recommend it to most riders just starting out in the waves due to its size. The smaller sized chambers would be a better choice.
This is the review of my gear from the 2008 season. These are just my two cents about the gear I have ridden and the experiences I had with it.
