Completed lessons and just purchased a 10m Ozone Reo.

Ultimately plan to ride a surfboard doing downwinders down the coast however need to develop competent board and kite skills first.

I weigh 79kg so what would be an ideal learners board size (probably riding at Pinnas, Melville and the City Beach to Trigg downwind run)

Don't want to spend a heap on my first learner board but also wish to progress...

If you've had lessons and can get up and riding, 130-134 for your weight. If you want a strict learners board go bigger, maybe a 138 that you can always use as a light wind board down the track.

Recommend 134 North Crossride, the best all rounder for Riding in chop, waves and flat water. Now have North Team Series, the ultimate.

what did the shop you bought your reo reccomend????? You would think they would have assisted you with board selection?
