anyone know of details for landboarding?
what size foil do you use normally? can u use trainer kites or do you need to go up to like 4 or 5m to get doing on say grass in big parks?
what sort of wind do you need? is it a light wind alternative?
i am interested but know no-one in wa that does it.

HOW MUCH ARE THEY???

BET NOT AS CHEAP AS A SMALL FOIL.
I JUST DONT KNOW WHETHER TO GET A 2m OR 4m

im just gonna buy a cheap 2 line from ebay
just not sure of size.
havent got a board yet, i am searching for one.
dont want a dirtsurfer tho, they look too unco unless u r goin flat out.
i want somethin like a flexifoil flexdeck.but really anything with big wheels that will go on grass.

10m depowerable foil is the ultimate one kite to landboard.
(frenzy, sabre, flysurfer)

5m foil (like a flexifoil blade) is also a great alternative. (if you prefer handles)

You can use trainer kites, but you probably won't be getting any air.

If you can fly the kite comfortably you can landboard.

This is definitely a light wind alternative.

This is an awesome sport, but no one is doing it.

hey fellas i got a mbs razor i am sellinggreat mountain board fiber glass graphite composite ect ect ect deck........egg shocks..and sooooooo on great conany takers???

how much for the board?

umm for the board 340 and for the kite 350..or nearest offer

but is it a mbs razor???

Hi Force,

The reason there's not many landboarders in WA (so i hear) is that there's not a whole load of wide beaches (hard sand) with more or less onshore winds; but that doesn't mean there's not any good parks to do it. My favourite two landboarding spots are parks - makes an excellent light-wind alternative to kiteboarding; especially when it's cold.

Unless you want it for training though, don't get a 2-line foil - and not off eBay unless it's something second hand. You want something with power, not a toy shop special. A 4m Ozone Samurai is an awesome kite, but there's also some slightly cheaper ones out now, like one called the Fury, by Ozone.

The MBS Razor was my first board, and it's great, except quite an old model now... but for kiting, most boards will be ok.

Certainly check the Flexifoil forums for info; and extreme-kites.

All the best,

Go the KGB. (kite ground boarding).

DON`T get a foil less than 3-4M as they are to fast through the wind window, you end up just getting tugged and not powered. If your looking for light wind performance ie. not enough wind to kitesurf yet, then I`d reccomend at least 5-6m of kite.

Any smallish tube kite will serve as your high wind water kite and lower wind land kite and it may well be easy to get at a good price OR the alternative that I`m considering is the new "speed" from flysufer, again because it`s multi-functional, for me I`m looking at snow, land and water use with just one kite!

*** poor relative- hows your dirtsurfer goin`? Which one did you get?

goshen they are some awesome little vids mate.
go the wall rides.
looks like so much fun.
what sort of wind speed was those filmed at?
takes kiting to another path...
i have some places in mind for round perth, has my brain racing now.
gotta save save save.
looks like more fun than walkin up the beach at scabs...
