Hey, Just wondered if anyone has had a go surfing on a kite surf board (without a kite). I've just bought a north nugget, haven't had a go on it yet and am looking at a windless weekend.... What chance do you give me of standing up? I've surfed plenty of times before but never enough to call myself a surfer so I guess that hurts my chances. I'm predicting it'll be like riding a boogie board until I go to stand, it'll be too small and slow to actually stand on it. Thoughts?
We had a customer buy one who swore is was the best best board they had ridden in waist to chest high waves at Wedge Island, give it a go!! The idea of the board is based on the Firewire sweet potato.
I tried it on my old 6ft north Wam and stood up but the wave just went under me, I don't surf much though so might be doable in more experienced hands.
I love my Sweet Potato and it's my go to summer board for Perth beaches... I've got a 5' 7" Whip, any idea if it's doable or does the board need to be powered up to ride the waves??
Cheers for the feedback Andy, I'm 80kg so by the sounds of it I think I would need some pretty solid surf to get the 5' 7" going.. I figured it would probably be a little stiff with it's construction but good to actually hear about it.
