Hello,

I've just started kiteboarding, i've done the lessons and have been out a few times by myself and have only had one real solid session where i got up and kept going consistently. Unfortunately due to lack of winds when i was attempting to learn it was a long drawn out process so i was bit delayed and ended up completing the training at the end of the season. As part of the original kit i purchased a liquid force contact 137 X 41 board. As the winds are a bit on and off at the moment i started looking at light wind boards. I picked up a 8 year old LF board 140 X 46 in fair condition for cheap to help learning especially in the winter wins. The bottom coating is peeling on one end of the bottom.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on using this board as a learning/light wind board. OR should i be looking at getting a better bigger board. I have been looking at the light wind boards Crazy Fly LW cruiser and Litewave Wing but there is obviously quite a additional expense to get these boards. I'm around 83kg using a 12mtr kite in what seems to be around 10-20knot winds currently.
Should i continue with what i have or do you think getting a better board will help my progression.

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for that. When you say the particular LW board which one were you refering or did you mean both? I mentioned the Crazy Fly LW and the Litewave Wing.

Thanks again really appreciate the feedback.
