Hey guys

I am looking at buying a board tomorrow and the crazyfly shoxz custom 136 I was looking at is out of stock and my instructor is telling me the 133 will be ok as its the width that is more important and it's 41 wide. I have extensive surf and wake background and am wondering if this sounds right to you? I way 80kg at my Heaviest. I have also contemplated buying a raptor pro or pro Ltd but I don't know If they have too much rocker to go upwind easily for a beginner.

Any opinions are greatly appreciated

Out of the CF line up I rated the pro ltd when I demoed them all. With ur background I wouldnt worry much about getting a board suited more to a beginner either, regardless of size. A 133 will do the job on either shox or the pros, but id say the 136 will last u a couple of seasons before u work out where ur at and if u wanna go down the surfboard path.

The sculps flew well too, if that helps too.Under rated kite imo. An 11m and 136 board or 12m and 133 should do the trick.

Suggest doing ur lessons with cedric as well and drive that 2hours for every single sess mate.Give it a couple seaspns before trying that dam hey

If you've only got the one 10.5 kite then go a bit bigger on the board ,136 x 42-43 would prob be a better fit to start.

Waaaay toooo smaaaaall.
