hi guys im a beginner kitsurfer and am mostly into freeride and a little hang time... im looking for a beginning kite that performs well in my area of Montana. We have a constant 8-10knot wind in any given direction on any given day. I weigh in at 150-155lbs... as i couldn't afford an actual board my instructor told me that i could use a wakeboard as a board. Any one please help

Hi mate. Griffin Argo , ozone reo or cabrina ride. You are best to go to a local kite shop and ask them for size to suit you and how you want to use it
Cheers Billy.

Wakeboard will not be so great as they have a lot more rocker than a kiteboard. This will make it difficult for you to get up to speed and stay upwind, particularly as a beginner.

Speak to a couple of local shops about kite options.

Ozone Reo is a wave kite and Cab Ride doesn't seem to exist

Ozone catalyst however would be good.

IN 8-10 knts you will need a big kite (17mtr slingshot Turbine, or some thing big) and a big board ,a wake board inst ideal it usually has to much rocker for light wind . Go ask your instructor is the best bet he will have an idea for your local conditions
Hope this helps
