Does anyone use a wakeboard to kitesurf?
The only difference I can see is the fin placement and the price???
What about a lot of rocker and no fins , maybe integrated fins?
Let me know ?

I have thought about the same thing. I guess you could place the fins in another location. I dont see why it wouldnt work if you moved them.

I still have a Connelly board that I like to use. It has a good amount of rocker and I added 2 low-profile fin boxes to the heel-side rail for extra
traction against the pull of the kite. I also have boot bindings on this board as I don't do any board-off tricks. Someday I'll likely trade them for
straps. So, IMO some wakeboards make adequate kitesurf boards as long as they are high quality wakeboards. However, if saving money is your goal, you
probably won't save much by going this route. Remember, the quality of your experience relates to the quality of your gear.
