Hey all im looking to start kitesurfing. ive purchased some cheap second hand gear just till i get the hang of things. Just wondering if a raceboard is ok to learn on?
Heh Gazzman, welcome to our wonderful sport of enjoyment if done the right way. I suggest to read some of the previuos posts here particularly "New Starter" for good information about starting the sport. As for a Kite Raceboard IMO you should learn the basic fundermentals of Kiteboarding on a twin tip style board first and then once you get the hang of that, then progress to a Raceboard if you can tear yourself away from having so much fun on a Twinny. If you have already purchased a Raceboard that is fine and will come in handy once you have progressed. Your first point of contact should be ring or drop in for a chat at some reputable Kite Shops that have Kite Schools or a suitably qualified Professional Kiteboarding Instructor and do some lessons! Cheers
