Guess it depends on your weight?

I was taught on a 142 twin tip (I weigh 92Kgs)

This worked for me

Anyone point me in the right direction for buying my first board. size brands etc
done a few lessons just moved to Ulladulla area if anyone knows of where to kite or anyone giving lessons.

Hi Luke

How much do you weigh?
First rides are a lot easier with a larger board, smaller kite combo, thats how we do our fully water based lessons now, and generally we get people up and riding within one 3 hr lesson.
Someone here will know of a good instructor down your way?

How much you weigh will determine the answer to the board size question.

Cheers for the reply's. My weight is 67kg I have done 2-3 lessons was at the stage of getting on the board then moved from Geraldton W.A to Ulladulla N.S.W have a 12m kite. would like to do another lesson if anyone knows of someone down this way???

"or on the other hand i got a friend up on a 122 with in 30 min... [no one mention he did the opposite of what i told him to do for 3 things in a row and crashed the kite into a tree]."kitecrazzy
Mates teaching mates.........I cringe. Was it your peli point tree by any chance?

I agree with Saffer. I bought a 144 board a few weeks ago. After 3 times out, I borrowed someones 133, and it was soooo much better. The bigger might be easier for the first few sessions, but you will regret it after that.

Saying that, anyone wanna buy a brand new 144 2007 Naish Haze??
