Kite Boarding

calskierX has one for sale, and probably some good info for you.

my bro has the whole setup for it and tryed using it once but he couldnt really getup and he's a good wakeboarder too, my thoughts are that it is a pretty tough sport to pick up so take lessons... and make sure you have ALL the equipment, there is a lot to have, make sure ur not missing any key components of the setup. good luck.

thanks^ wake boards will work right? i don't need some special board...
i might use it on snow seeing summer is windin down

before you get a full sized kite, i suggest you invest in a 'trainer' kite. they fly very similar to kiteboard kites but are onlly about 1m-4m in size. you fly them just standing in a field. they help you get the feel for a kite very well. look into naish kites btw

well i think it would be wise to ask sumone who actually does the sport for ur board situation... b/c my bro's got a wakeboard, and then he has his kiteboard... i think there's 2 types... ones that look like big wakeboards and ones that look like short surfboards... my bro has the one that looks like a surfboard with bindings

is kiteboarding hard to learn?

no its actually really easy i live in hood river which is kiteboarding mecca. so i tried and it was easy but i didnt like how cold the water was so i quit

no you dont want a wakeboard...unless you plan on takin the bindings off and buying the kiteboard bindings...

but if you were planning on doin that, itd be better to just buy a kiteboard wit the bindings already on it. you'd get a better deal

a wakeboard would work but kiteboards are better cuz they are longer, more stable goin over waves and they are lighter

me and some friends got into it a few yrs ago and it was really fun we just dont have time to go anymore

but yea man go for it. its a blast. but it does take a while to learn cuz you gotta fly the kite, and ride your board at the same time so its kinda tricky at first
