Hy everyone,

I am new to kitesurfing. I have done my first classes and it was awesome. I am now looking to buy my own equipment but I am really in a tight budget.

I have seen a kit for 230 US$ that contains:
NBL board 135x35cm- year 2007
Waroo kite year 2007- length 7m so I suppose it is a 11 m2 or something similar
Harness and bar Best OSR.

I am 1'84 m tall and arround 76 Kg.

Can you advice me if I should buy this? I know that later I will need to buy a bigger kite.
Thank you guys !!!

There’s a bit of assuming here because of the lack of info but the board is a to small for a beginner of your weight. The length is not too bad but I have never seen a board so small in the width. The kite is a bit old for my liking and if the seller is advertising it with its length and not the square meter size it tells me they haven’t got a clue about gear they are selling.

My concern is you are getting what you are paying for (cheap) which has a good chance of turning into a headache.

I know you have a tight budget but you don’t want to throw your money down the drain. Look at seabreeze buy and sell or your local kite shop and you have half a chance of getting a headache free start to the sport.
