I'm excited man. I've had a snowboard for 2 years now and I've never gotten a chance to use it until hopefully this winter!

Imho if you are a newbie one of the most important things you need to know is the strength of the wind. So you need to get a wind meter and make
yourself familiar with the Beaufort Scale. Before you launch the kite check for a good 10-15 mins what the wind is doing, base your decision on
whether to launch on the highest gust. Don't fly the kite in the upper reaches of its wind range, don't try and run before you can walk. Just my
tuppence on the subject, served me well as i learnt on a 4m Crossfire2.
15m Synergy, 12m Synergy, 10m VenomII, 6.5m Crossfire 2, 2m Beamer IV.

plus 1 man, the wind speeds should come first and foremost, its decieving, a 12m ace in a 5mph wind feels like a gentle giant but a 4.5 ace in a 15 to
20 is a beast, definitly know your winds speeds for sure, newbies i would suggest you dont fly in winds above 10mph no matter what kite you get.

I had some GNU ultra-light bindings at one point in time (sold them with some of my other gear last year). Not bad bindings. Not a huge surprise that
the company makes snowboards as well. Never ridden one though...
