New to the forum+to kiteboarding

Postby Arctic_Rider » Tue Aug 19, 2014 12:39 am

Hey Everyone,

Just started kite boarding and need some help with picking a kite and a board. I'm 5'10 155lb and am currently riding in New Jersey but will be going to Erie PA in the fall. I've been recommended liquid force by my instructor. I need help with board size and curve also kite length.

Thanks!!

welcome!

You should tell us more about your weight and the wind conditions you will be riding in.
Then it will be easier to give you help according to sizes.

Nowadays pretty much all brands have good products. LF for sure is one of them!

I can look up the current wind conditions for my area and the lake but I don't know how it usually gets. Is there a website I can find average wind conditions for the year?
