looking for a bit of advice guys and gals, i've been riding a 6-6" strapped surfboard to get my head around wave riding on the kite. i'm ready to give strapless a crack and looking at buying a board to both surf and kite on (i've surfed longer boards but basically a novice) the board i'm looking at is a 2008 Rip Curl / Da Lewy Swallow Tail Thruster - 6-3", 19", 2-7/16".
I'm around 83kg's
I'm not sure how a thruster will perform in kite conditions or for a novice surfer who wants to progress??

cheers
