9 Years ago started on a surfboard, then to a Air-rush Mutant, then last 5 years on a Jimmy Lewis Lithium Twinny (yes an oldy but a goody), now I want to head right back to surfboard style kiteboard (My days of crankin' out freestyle, wake-style best left to those young bodies that can handle the pain you take to get it right!).

Any Basic principles on choosing a suitable board considering the many options out there! Just doing my head in!

I'm a intermediate rider, in Mandurah WA, (you guys are right, WA is the best place on earth for kiters), have a fluid style (my mates say slow and gutless, I will go with the former!). Been up north wave riding last few weeks, and just loving it!

I still like a good solid rail as the chop and wind can be fierce here in summer.

Input from regular punters or affiliated persons I don't mind, as long as they use the board. Been through every evolution phase of kiting (Except boards obviously) since the two line foil kites were all you could get, so I can read between the lines.

Cheers Crew
