Beginner landboard

martinipro - 20-11-2011 at 03:57 PM

I'm looking to get into kiteboarding. I want to get a relatively cheap board to start with.

I can get a cheap board like an atom 90 or look for something used here. Is it worth it the extra money to go for a GI board or similar?

I'd be looking to spend around 150-200. I don't want to go much higher to start with.

Any ideas/offers are appreciated.

Thanks

there are two mbs elements boards on ebay that are good. I got one off of craigslist a few years ago and have not needed a new one yet. it is a wood deck with older version ats trucks. i am actually about to upgrade my board with new trucks(mbs matrix pros)

Depending on where in NJ you are, this (Craigslist, not mine) might work for you.

MBS Comp 95 Mountain Board with Brake - $185 :o (Union County)



Description:
i bought this and used it literally for three runs down a local hill hoping to get ready for snowboarding season...well...in my opinion..it is not the same...it hurts ALOT more when falling, and at my age I do not recover as quickly as I used to. so out it goes!! when I bought this it cost me almost 500. you can get it online now between 370-450. get it here for less than half!! price is fair and FIRM!! email or best to call 609 895 7474 days mon-thur 908 956 5938 eve

Original Craigslist listing is here. It was originally posted on 2011-11-10, 12:36PM EST.

As an added bonus, if this is viable, there's no shipping.

Screaming deal if the description is accurate.

:wee:

Thanks Sam!

Just picked that MBS up today! Its brand new.
They owner probably had it out once before he realized going downhill was a bad idea.

Just cleaned it, took the break out. Looks new!
