Time to get wet!!

I will be taking lessons this month for my birthday and going to need some gear. I have a line on a nice light wind kite but it might be just a little out of budget.

What I still NEED is a board. Going to need something along the lines of a door as I weigh 220# and I have very light winds here.

Post up what you've got!! (Boards, kites, etc)

Thanks!!!

Ok, took my first lesson today and already hooked. Need kites!!!! Used a cab switch 14 today and honestly I felt like I could have used a bit more power.

Whatcha got?????

Edit: still need a board too :lol:

You can't get enough power when you are learning! strong winds make up for bad technique!

Try an Epic Infinity if you can - launches in nothing and pulls like a freight train!! The Switchblade is a sweet kite but the Crossbow has more grunt.

If you have a kiteshop available try as many as you can before you buy anything!
