Hi Guys

Im wanting to get into kite boarding
Ill mainly be kiting at St Kilda
I weigh nearly 80kgs and am wanting to buy a kite and board that is a good all rounder, something that i can learn easily and progress on
I don't want to have to own several kites
Any ideas of suitable kite and board combos
Cheers

If you get a lesson from a shop or qualified instructor they should give you all the advice you'll need and a good idea of your ability as this wil effect what you should buy..

Once you get some lessons, just get a cheapish 12 or 13mtr kite and a second hand board (132-142).When your learning it's guarenteed your gear will cop a flogging, and finaly when you get the hang of kiting and need to up grade, it won't hurt the money tree as much when you decide on newer gear.
GOOD LUCK NEWBOY
See you out there someday.
This week is looking good actualy.
cheers.
