Thanks everyone! I am also looking for a vintage liquid force pickle fork 171. Anyone have one in decent condition, please let me know. Basically, I am looking for large old school boards:

Gorge Animal
Slingshot LFT
Liquid Force Pickle Fork 171
Vintage Jimmy Lewis

I think it's damn cool. It may not be right for launching a large kite on the beach (today), but it is innovative and could lead to other ideas that could advance bar/line/launching technology.

I'm looking for either board in good condition. Thanks!

Hi. I am looking for a wide, floaty kiteboard for light to medium wind conditions. I am 230 lbs and want something that has some float, but is also easy to handle. Everything I come across is for buck fifty guys who are experts. Help...

Thanks everyone for the good advice. The 5.0 was a B-day present and I am thinking of upgrading it to a 7 just to balance the quiver out. How are the conditions at Strawberry, which is supposed to be 30 min from PC?

Hi all,

I'm a Socal kitesurfer who has never snowkited. I have a Peter Lynn Venom II 19 and a Venom II 13. I also recently got an HQ Montana 5.0. as a present Is the 5.0 a good size for a beginner? Which kite sizes are best for places like Utah? I am about 225 pounds.

Thanks for any advice.

How were the lessons? Who gave them? I am going to be up in Park City for two weeks (up from Malibu) and want at least a few hours of training. Any advice?

Hi all, I am a beginner kiteboarder who started on a Peter Lynn Venom II 19 for the gusty winds in socal. Can anyone recommend one or two other kinds of kites and sizes for different wind conditions (steady, high). Ease-of-use and depower are key as I am still learning. Also, the first board I chose...

I appreciate the info. I am learning in Oxnard and Malibu, but also want a safe place to practice and build confidence.

Hi,

Does anyone know of any lakes in southern california where you can kitesurf?
