Lots of kiteboarders started on wakeboards but most moved on to kiteboards. Typically kiteboards have less rocker while wakeboards have more. The rocker particularly can effect light wind performance. Kiteboards can have a tendency to nose in undertow for wakeboarding. You can make it work but you would probably be better off picking up a new or used kiteboard.
