... there are a lot of variables that need your input that can help your choice but basically, if you intend to ride in mostly powered conditions then the smaller narrower boards are your choice but if you intend to ride in lighter winds then the bigger ones will be better.

All the boards are good at there intended job but in my opinion, I'm loving my Nugget so that would be my choice.

the other question you need to answer is What type of waves you ride at your local spot. Hollow , long, big or mushy , small no power. Cheers

Hi All

Thanks for helping,

I picked those boards as the reviews looked good,
(Will look at the slingshot -cheers)

The plan is to ride small to medium size wave and some free ride.

The nugget is great fun in flat water chop, super stable, good pop for jumps and really playful. Haven't ridden it in waves, but i reckon small messy waves it would be great.

Pretty hard to beat the firewire boards for the surf. I ride the vanguard and love it. Surfs great, screams up wind. Its light and strong. Perfect board. I've not ridden them, but heard great things about the vader and evo too.

I've heard pros say that you should choose a kite surfboard from a surfboard maker not a kite company... not sure how much truth is in that, but something to consider

I ride a firewire vanguard and love it. Have owned a nugget, angry swallow and whip. but as mentioned get a cheap board that you can thrash then look at a getting a decent board.

I used a 20 year old surfboard a friend gave me. Practiced on it for one season then I got myself a Vader.

So find a mate who has too many surfboards or look on garage sales. Then when you've mastered gybing, toe side etc... You can look at getting a more fun kite surfboard.
