Core or north boards ? Thanks for the help !👏🏼🍃🏄🏻

Hello my weight is 57 and and I am 163 cm usually surfing in flat or small choppy water so should I choose 128cm or 132 cm for North Soleil?

What board would you recommend me? My weight is 70kg got a large board already and i need a small board now for jumps and tricks (Usuall surfing in choppy water)

Do I need to get a special board if im goofy footed?

Well anyone who is watching this video should think of this: kite's are better, smoother, more stable and have more windrange. Tried it myself, try for example North Rebel windrange (google). Every year equipement is getting better and better, this video is 6 years old.

how much kite is needed to snowkite up slope , up mountain

short and to the point, perfect, thank you

i need some recommendations to whether i should by another twin tip or a strapon surf board and try to progress to foiling now? ive got a 150 slingshot ignition and i typically kite in water with alot of kickers. i rarely ever go on flat water anymore

next episode: How to choose the proper camera and microphone.

What is a small medium and large kite for somebody weighing 210lbs?

Can't hear a thing!!

hello how are you? I want to know what size kite boarding that I need to weigh or to teach in the beginning I longitudinally 171 cm I weigh 69 kg

CORE FUSION Carbon 141/42 will be a 1 board quiver for me, anything from 10-50mph and this baby with JAM! Unique hull design with enough flex so soak up all the lumps and bumps, plus mega upwind capability.

Just took on a CORE FUSION Carbon! What a fantastic board, very very light and with an RRP of £700 it's priced right ($1040) hehe! German building at it's best, it's the Mercedes of the boarding world I reckon. Took it out the day after delivery and was out for 6 hours straight (and I mean without a break). Was pumped with 20mph and my 17 Slingshot Turbine! BooM. Google Search CORE FUSION KITEBOARD

The board I use the most now is my Slingshot Crisis 137/41cm and my biger one is an off brand melstorm 144/43..

I stoped riding for 3 years only Because no Car and I'm about an Hour drive from the coast the Sad truth I Love sports that are so Expensive but I can Berly Aford a car as well lol maybe I will Become a Beach Bum and Only spend Money on Kites lol

What board you on now? I'm selling my Wainman Hawaii Blunt.

yeah I Love my rev I'm learning on it as well My first LE.. Iv been into stunt Kite's sense I was a lil guy but then I got into Power Kites I was into some board sports before so I put the 2 together started land board with cheep Power kites and then I got my rev 13 on e-bay used only 2 Times for $650usd Kite only and my Big twin tip back in 2010 Taught my Self to body drag water start and I was just getting the upwind part then skiped a few Years now I'm back were I started..

I also have a Nobile 2HD 132 which is nice :)

The REV 13 is a GREAT kite, my friend had a 9 & 13 and I had the 11 & 15 a few years ago, they're what we learned on and without them it would've been a lot harder I think. The Turbine is a nice slow POWERFUL kite, lots of time to think and very very grunty. For your weight I'd say you'd be up and off in 10mph upto around 18mph then it would be a handful. At the moment I'm looking at yet another board, the Core Fusion Carbon 141x42, nice board and should be for 799eu :oO

Nice selection you got there. I Need a qwiver! my self right now My only Kite is My Slingshot rev13m and 2 boards if its real Light I got my 144/44 door looking board and when medium to Lit up I got my 137/42 slingshot Crisis I'm about 195 to 200 depending on eat or dump lol only having 1 useabel Kite I can only go out when lucky. Its normally between 10 and 20 where I ride a good day 15 to 20 but most the time only 8 to 15. how do you Like Your slingshot turbine.? that Might be my Next Kite..

My boards have changed yet again, my main board is now a 132/41 Navisboard and light wind board 135/43 Wainman Blunt. Kites depend on wind strength, but mainly as follows: 8-15mph - 17m Slingshot Turbine 2013 14-20mph - 14m Slingshot RPM 2012 20-30mph - 12m or 10m Slingshot RPM 2012 30-45mph - 8m RPM 2012 Anything higher or lower I don't go out. My 'Snowboard' is a Nobile Snowkite Specific. My spare kitesurf board is a Nibile 2HD 132/41 2012

what size Kite you Use wit your 134cm board.?

a lil confused i am, ive been snow boarding wake boarding and snowboarding i ride a 157 snowboard and your telling me to get that in a kite board? im 186cm tall why dont i just get a longboard (malabu surfboard) to learn on seems like a good idea according to you lol i just bought a 134 twin and a 158 directional and they work fine for me im 86kgs dude your whack!!!

Id like to be able to watch this on my phone

Only just come across this video after all this time. Yes area not volume, volume is for windsurf boards that need to float with rider included. Selection is also down to ability. I'm a 280LB kiter and when learning I couldn't manage a 160cm board as I couldn't get it to turn fast enough, ended up with a Flexifoil Alpha 144/44 which took me to new levels. I now use a 134x42 as me everyday board and a 140x46 as my biggy. If I ever need anything bigger then it's not worth going out.

Great video... You keep talking about board volume - I think you mean surface area.

@bboydon-Thanks for watching

@arenaTM1-Thanks for watching. A 14 meter bow kite would be most sutible for your size because it would be your medium size kite that you can fly in medium winds.To increase your days on the water, you will notice that the area in which you are kiting has either stronger winds or lighter winds. A second or third kite will be needed to cover the entire wind range and ensure you the maximum amount of days on the water. If you have any other questions please email us.

so if I am 220lb 6'4" and I want a bow kite, what size would suit me to kite in medium winds? 14 m2?

Thanks!

@vladisk-Thank you for watching! Please feel free to contact us if you have anymore questions about selecting the proper gear.

Really Helpful Thanks a lot!

@Freakster75 Your welcome! I am excited to hear you are going to start kiteboarding! It is an exhilarating experience! We commend you for educating yourself before a lesson as well. The more knowledge and experience you have with kite or board handling will help you excel dramatically in your first lessons. I would highly recommend a trainer kite. If you want more information or help, please do not hesitate to contact Kitty Hawk Kites Kiteboarding.

@MrMcviko Your Welcome

This is in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It is an absolutly awesome spot. One of the best in the world to learn. At our kiteboarding resort in Waves, NC there is miles of knee deep water with smooth and consistant winds. Its awesome.

Thank you for watching and keep an eye out for more instructional videos to help guide you through your selection.

Looking forward to another year of rapid progression becaue of my obsession!

Verry helpfulllll

that would be rocker and area, not "profile and volume".

thanx, very clarifying :-)

nice video, thanks for the help.

Yo Dougie! It's awesome to see that you've managed to make a career out of the kiting addiction, and on the OBX, no less...I'm totally jealous. We were actually just down in Rodanthe a week ago with Johan and the rest of our Connecticut crew. We'll have to catch up and ride together again next time we're down there. Cheers, the other Doug.
