light wind water gear ***Found***
Time to get wet!!
I will be taking lessons this month for my birthday and going to need some gear. I have a line on a nice light wind kite but it might be just a little
out of budget.
What I still NEED is a board. Going to need something along the lines of a door as I weigh 220# and I have very light winds here.
Post up what you've got!! (Boards, kites, etc)
Thanks!!!

You can't get enough power when you are learning! strong winds make up for bad technique!
Try an Epic Infinity if you can - launches in nothing and pulls like a freight train!! The Switchblade is a sweet kite but the Crossbow has more
grunt.
If you have a kiteshop available try as many as you can before you buy anything!
