Hey all, first post for me.

I'm just getting started in the sport. I've had all my lessons and now it is just watertime that i need. I currently ride a 2006 16m2 Naish Boxer with a 2006 Naish Haze 146 board. Im about 110kg and recently we've been getting pretty crap wind when i've been out (<15knot). I'm flying the kite ok in this wind, and when it picks up i'm starting to get up easy enough. But most of the time im just stalling by sinking the board.

Im thinking of investing in a lightwind board (Prolly 14Xcm x 45-50). Can you guys tell me whats out there, the only one i've really heard of recently is 2007 Naish Custom Wide Twin-Tip. I've also been told the Haze has a fairly huge rocker for our waters and i should be looking at something prolly half the rocker size.

Any advice?

Hi Tvelligus,

Try looking at the Airush Protoy Exile, ultimate light wind performance, almost impossible to buy second hand which speaks volumes.

Kiteworld did a review of light wind boards 2 issues back I think, The Airush rated very highly.

See what others say.

Good winds and welcome to the sport,

if you weigh that much you will be doing well to get going in under 15k with anything but a surfboard. dont stress it, wait for more wind and you'll be fine
