So I've got the bug again and decide that I am going to give landboarding another go. No room or time for buggying. I have a few fixed bridal kites
but am already thinking about going depower again. I always liked my 6/12 m peak3 combo and am leaning towards single skin again. Is there currently
a preferred option between the Peak / Shaman / Explore single skins? I'm just wanting something stable to learn landboarding on at my local beach.
Not looking for anything to jump with or anything at this point. I figure I will change my kites if I get that good. I've currently got a 5 m beamer,
a 4 m blade on the way and a 3.5 rage hopefully soon. I intend to play around with fixed bridal but when I was buggying I did that initially and
quickly decided I wanted to go depower. Any land borders in the house?

I don't know the more I think about it the more I think it might be fun to do small jumps. I know it is something I will grow into but for those of
you land boarding what are you using for kites?

I'm a big fan of Flysurfer Peaks and used my 4m and 8m a few times with a mountainboard.
Not a ton of lift with Peaks, but super quick & easy to launch and pack down and safe in gusty spots!

Yeah I loved my peaks too although I only owned them a short time. That's the way I'm leaning but I've seen some other used options so I'm having a
hard time making up my mind.

I use my surfing kites for land-boarding whenever I go... I used fixed-bridle at the beginning (longer ago than I care to admit) but definitely prefer
the depower.
Also, FWIW, I recommend getting something you will jump with, once you get good at the back&forth, you will want to be able to spice it up a bit.

Dylan, you're more than right. What are some options you recommend? I'm trying to buy used if I can help it.

I have gotten spoiled with my Flysurfer Souls.. Theyre the best kites I've flown... I used to love using the PL Arcs (Phantom was my favorite, thought
I saw one for sale here actually)), but those are hard to find these days.
I dont have a wide variety of surf kite experience, so not sure my opinion matters much, but if you can get one that works on water also, then thats
just another thing you could try out in the future!
