tautologies is spot on!

If you choose to try one board for both look at the Firewire line. They are surfboards built stronger to kite. They still have the original volume, rail , rocker, and bottom shape for surfing but do sacrifice some flex with the stronger layup.

I agree with tautologies it's not about one or the other it's about what I'm in the mood for. I'll ride my directional when I'm in the mood to ride waves and my twin tip when I want to play with the waves. Curious - what can you do with a TT in waves, playing, you can not do with a waveboard ? :D P...

That's usually the case for me but today I was able to go from the surf shop to the beach to try out my new board. However I did have to wait 4 weeks for it to get shaped and glassed.

On the days when it's more about survival than kiting.

I've sprayed my feet with Flex Seal Rubber Sealant a few times in the past. It only last a couple of weeks but it works great! Only problem is it looks a bit funky when wearing flip flops.

I'm one of those bigger blokes that rides big kites and enjoys big air. My harness is from 2008 and I have had to replace the straps on it twice but the harness and spreader pad are still in decent shape.
