Looking for advice about switching to a directional board. I am intermediate level, 80kg, currently riding on a 134cm twintip (Liquid Force DLX) with a 10m Ozone Catalyst V1. I am looking for something that can double as surfboard (graduating from softboard). I read that some but not all types of surfboards are suited for kiting. Any recommendations/ advice?
Grab a 2nd hand 30ltr-ish surfboard as a first kite board. Tricky picking a board for both. Prone surfing you'll need to allow volume for paddling. Becomes a compromise choice, how much paddle float will you do without for your kite board. dedicated kite boards are stronger. Your foamy will probably be >40ltrs.
