Sorry i know you probably see a million of these posts in here but anyway i felt like asking. I plan to get into this sport verry soon Im going to buy an HQ Beamer III 3m and I was curious what board is good to start out with. I do plan to learn how to fly the kite first then add in the board. But im 6'4" and 175 pounds idk if height/weight matters. What board would you recomend me to get links appreciated

thanks

Any of the ones from MBS or Ground Industries that you can afford and or like. Longer boards are better for cruinsing and speed, shorter boards can be better for tricking and aggressive carving.

I ride GI (see signature) and love channel trucks as they don't wobble at speed but they are heaver and cost more than skate trucks.

The makers usually state weight limits for the boards so as long as you stick to that you can't really go wrong with any of the boards from GI or MBS.
