board recomondations

Post by regret_nuthin »

I recently picked up a spleene door, as I understand it the door is an excellent light wind board. My question is can the door be used with more wind or should I get another board for windier days. If the recommendation is another board what size should I be looking for (I am 6'1" 195lb/88kg). thanks for any input from this kook

I would just ride that board until you are good enough at kiting to justify having two boards.

Don't make my mistake and end up with 7 boards and still suck
these are not the pumps you are looking for....

I would say look for a 150 x 40 MAKO http://www.oceanrodeo.com/products/mako No need for the 'mutant' set up but a future mod. 8)
Thermals are good.
