Any other pump just cannot even stay in the air. This is my personal experience and I tryed all the stuff out there!
And that's the bottom line
THE RIGHT COMBO , Fred is right on the target also.
In my opinion Innis is mixed up, this is an experience and perception issue,
because without a good engine how could you have a good acceleration and speed,
the low end pulling power of a kite?
Please move on and try different equipment to develop more fun in kiteboarding activity.
Trust me light wind riding is a pain of a butt without the right combo
U-C my user name, it's for a reason

A big flat board is important, but add a really good low wind kite like the Flysurfer Speed 2 and you have a winning cobination.
The sport is called kitesurfing for a reason......the kite IS very important.
Abel is correct. A big flat board is more important than the kite.
Some folks don't want you to know this, but economically you'll get way more lightwind milage out of a big flat board than you will from a big, slow-turning, expensive kite. If money's not a problem, get the kite too (they help), but pay off your car loan and get a big flat board first.
