Hi all,

I'm hoping for some advice. I've been kiteboarding on and off since 2010/2011. I am quite proficient at the basics but perhaps a little rusty as my kite has been sitting in closet unused for past few years. I'm hoping to get back into the sport. Wondering if I should upgrade my equipment as I have a little spare cash or continue as is?
FYI - I'm 70kg. Kite is Naish Cult 10.5m. Board is Nobile 555 132x41 (i think!). Use previously in port phillip bay ViC. however looking to also use in surf at phillip island (PS not interested in using/ buyiong surf board at this point)
Thoughts much appreciated. Thanks
Carlos

hey plummet. thanks. my bad... rechecked...kite is 2010.. does that make any diff? fyi - i went out sunday and cant recall crashing it however it did drop from sky once or twice when wind dropped. im quite proficient at keeping it up .
ps was thinking of getting secondhand 1-2 yr old not brand new

thanks plummet. just saw ur reply ... great suggestion ... get a diff size kite - why didnt i think that!!

To all other guys and gals on forum. im keen on hearing diff points of view so I'll rephrase my qn...

...which would u suggest upgrading first given above facts... board or kite?

Keep in mind not looking to buy brand new. prob 2015 gear. E.g Id like a TT that gives less spray in my face and also ok for light surf/ chop.

Kite wise do i go for 10m or 11m given my current one is 10.5m. I generally aim to go out in 16-26kt winds (give or take). I weigh in at 71.5kg!

Thanks
Carlos
