kite types are all a matter of taste and style. pilots coming from a kite flying background tend to prefer the quadline foils for their superior
performance and quick water launch. of these, i recommend ks4u/quadrifoil kites (q-2000 series for beginners and x-foils for experienced). the
kitesurfer x-foil is an all-season kite and works well on land and water. check here for more info:

people coming from a windsurfing/wakebording background commonly choose a more stable kite such as the naish kite. they are quite expensive and lower
performing than the quad foils, but their stability allows the pilot to concentrate less on the kite while performing tricks. naish kites (among
others) are the choice of top kitesurfers. these kites are fine for land use although the inflated leading edge can easily be damaged by ground
objects. check here for more info:

we had a few mountain boards rolling at the sbbb races near vegas recently. i will soon be adding pics to
www.doomwheels.com in the next update.
