Thanks for the tips. Funny, I just saw that post on UsedVic and asked him what year the kites were :)

I'm 209lbs?

Does that indicate anything to ya! (apart from that I like cheesecake)

So I guess I'm saying...

Nitinat
209 lbs
Beginner
I like safety

Sounds like a 12m Rise?

As for boards? A Zen ...

Anyone want to tell me what they think of starting Kiteboarding with a rig setup like this? I'm newbie.

I'm learning the training kite, will get a few water lessons soon, and used to windsurf shortboards all the time.

Thanks for your 2 cents...good deal? or is there better?

Inflatable kites ...

I can't help but agree...this weekend isn't looking windy...good time to fix your board dings
