Whats your Favorite Light Wind Combination
For those on this forum who thinks it too macho to kite in lightwind then no need to respond.

For those of us who enjoy getting out on the water in light wind I thought I would start a post to poll what peoples favorite light wind combo of kite and board are for lightwind.

I am 110kg and my favorite combo is my 2014 Zephyr and Shinn King Gee 150x55 board. I can do most free ride tricks on this kite I can do on a smaller kite. I can get out in 12knots and kite with this Combo up to about 17 knots. At 14 knots I am pretty powered and can do pretty much anything I can on a smaller kite.

I also really enjoy my Zephyr and Airush Choptop 5'8" board when I feel like dumping the twin tip and cruising on a directional.

What's your favorite light wind combo?

MBS Pro 90 Kiteboard - Landkiting



Recently upgraded from the Comp95 to the Pro 90 Kiteboard.

This is the first land board that MBS has specifically designed for kiting. The first thing you notice is it's a lot lighter than other models (just above 5kg) as opposed to about 7kg for other models. The board is about 10cm shorter as well.

The deck is lighter and they added bamboo in the construction which gives it better pop.

The combination of light weight, shorter board and great pop made it much easier for me to nail my rotations and other tricks.

The single axle trucks are also lighter than dual spring trucks and the stiffness is adjustable just like with skate trucks. Tightening the trucks made a huge difference for me as by default the trucks are very loose.

I upgraded from the default set of nylon rims to the aluminum rims, which also gives a stiffer and more responsive feel.

Overall, very happy with the performance of this board and I would strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to get into land kiting or upgrade from their existing board, you won't be disappointed. The build quality is amazing and it will easily handle countless rough landings and power slides.
