Hey all,
A poley here looking for some winter fun on the southerlies xD. I have had an ozone ignition (3.0m) 3-line kite for some time and muck about on a skateboard with it. I have recently bought a land board (comp 95) to go on the beach. Is the 3.0m going to be big enough in 10-15 knots of wind or would something slightly bigger be better? Im not looking for jumps, just straight baf'ing.
Also would something with a harness (4-line) make it easier?
Cheers,
Moose

So... ever been sitting on the beach waiting for the wind to build enough for a session? theres wind but not quite enough. Or you have to constantly do the walk of shame. Or all you can do is just mow the lawn and nothing else?

Well if you have a hard beach buy a landboard and give that a go.

Use the same kites you normally would use. a landboard works real well in light wind. infact its like adding 5 knots.

So.... 10 knots on the landboard feels like 15 on the water.

So what does landboarding feel like compared to kitesurfing?

Imagine the flattest of flatwater. Thats what it feels like. mmmmh smooth. Rather than holding and edge you drift and slide. sliding is fun! You go faster, and can jump in less wind.

All of a sudden your boring 10-12 knot session is fast slidy and fun your throwing down airs and having a blast.

ps Jumping on a landboard is exhilerating. Even small jumps give you an adrenaline rush. why? because the risk is higher. But the reward is also higher.
