WTB starter board and edit: 9m LEI
Pretty much what the title says. I am a pretty light guy so I'm looking for something around 140cm and WIDE so I can learn water with it, also I am
really looking for something that won't break the bank.
Looking for and RTF kite but send me offers anyways
Thanks!

Where will you be flying the majority of the time? I see your location is in San Diego and all I've ever heard from kiters in that area is that the
winds are usually light. How much do you weigh?

My buddy weighs what you do and in 20+ he's on a 9, in 30+ he's on a 7. You might consider a 9 over a 7.. I think you'll get more sessions out of a
9.
