TT to surfboard - expect a much bigger smile on your face - Ok so you'll look a bit like the joker for a few days and your friends will bag you out heaps.

Beyond the broad smile - there will be some tears !! Jibing a surfboard for the first time for a tea bagger is a life changing experience - even a baptism !!
That aside - position the board a bit down wind, drop your feet onto the board and then dive the kite downwind - let the kite pull you up and wala your up!! - Jibing the board is another chapter!! but in the mean time just drop off the board turn it around and water start away in the reverse direction!

Two runs later you will forget what a twin tip is and why they were ever invented!!

Enjoy!!

Hmm just realised you are considering a North Nugget - not a true directional aka surfboard - nugget is a skim board thingo??
Not sure I should have chipped in here... never ridden a skim board ( and not sure why i would ever consider it !!)

Thanks mate! Are you maybe mistaking the north nugget for the cabrinha nugget? Cause the north is deff a directional and the cab is a skim...

If u just look at what board the north nugget is you will understand why I want to use it on flat waters..its a special light wind board.

But thanks for ur absolutely useless response.

if you want a light wind specific board then look at a sector . 54 or 60 . take a sector over a nugget anyday .

I would rather a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy!

I found riding down the line on the wave face better on a surfboard.
But everything else about the sb I find limiting.
Dudes consumed with down the line action will be drawn to a sb and not use anything else.
Me i'm more a boost and ride upwind on the wave face kinda guy. The mutant fits that bill perfectly.

That's a whole different ballgame. I use my Sector when I have to and enjoy what it can do. But it's not a surfboard and if you want to get into the waves you'd be better off surfing a bathtub.

how is the 54 any different to the nugget though col . ok maybe the 60 isn't a good suggestion but the nugget and 54 i would think would be fairly similar

I admit I haven't tried the 54. It's a fast slalomy board, right? The Nugget is a specialised light wind surfboard, won't handle too much speed, but will carve up a wave & drive off the fins. I reckon they're 2 completely different boards.

yep totally and utterly different. yes the V3 is a free-ride race board, but it carves from rail to rail surprisingly well. Factory setup is with thruster carved fins (but they are asymmetric, not the race type - but it can be fitted with them if you wish. More bottom end but loses any decent rail to rail carving. If you want to slash and burn, have a ball in the waves, go the Nugget, if you want to really cruise, jump, loop, roll in lighter winds with some slower soul carving on waves then the sector. Depends on what ya after. Nugget doesn't have the bottom end of the sector 54, but it bloody good nevertheless.

Again depends on what ya after. My mate is a SB rider, so went the nugget. I'm a mutant, TT rider, hence the Sector was chosen to cruise and get me out in 11 knots on a 12m kite as I hate anything bigger. Although I am considering 17m something...but bought three kites and two boards so missus would kill me if I get this too soon...give it some time...lol

there ya go then .

Damn sorry dusta!

Have a look at the 2013 north rebel video. You can see Sky Solbach riding the north nugget from 3:45 onwards.
