Hi there, i'm new to kitesurf, however not at all new to power kiting or buggying.
I had a Blade 2 4.9mtr kite and buggy last year and was out every possible moment i got (when there was wind).
I had a kitesurf lesson the other day and i had to laugh, soon as i picked up the kite i knew exactly what i was doing, body dragging was very fun + easy, managed to get up wind very easily.
I had my mind set on getting an Airush lift... but one big problem!! no safety release! I need safety, i dont wanna be caught in a pickle.
Having read so much about X2 and it's safety it has inspired me to get one... there is not much difference in the price and i understand that the lifts are the same power category as the X2?
Advice appreciated.
I live right near the beach and we get onshore wind 90% of the time. Wind varies, summer is pretty crap, but autumn and winter is amazing (autumn starts in september!! yay!).
I weigh about 65-70kg.
I have decided to go for a fanatic spider 159cm board.
Thx for advice
Adam.
