I'm just looking to get into power kiting and landboarding, what would be a good sized starter kite?
What about a Flexifoil Sting 1.7m?
Can anyone recommend a good board to start with as well?
Thanks

Hey Rob,
Welcome and need a few particulars from you like weight, avg winds, surface youll be boarding on (sand, snow or grass), and budget. The usual
beginning receipe is a 3 to 4 meter sail depending on the above. HQ Beamer 3 series, Ozone Samurai/Cult, Profoil from Kite Innovations are all sweet
kites. More folks will chime in for sure. Good luck and dont forget helmet, knee pads, and kite killers!

Yup- 3 -4 meter minimum for ATB riding. Plus you have to have knee pads, helmet etc. Trust me the knee pads and helmet are more important than the
kite!!!! Don't ask how I know!
I"m still hurting after 6 months.
