My vote is also on that the board should be a new riders concern over the brand of kite.
Being a new rider myself with no board skills, I struggled with getting up and riding long after learning to control the kite. I was on a SS147 Jarvis which is a good beginner board for most riders. After using Chris M. Underground FLX152, not only was I riding better but I immediatly went upwind.
Later that same day I again switched to my 147 Jarvis and could not go up wind...of course always using the same kite.
I bought that Underground FLX152 the next day and use it almost exclusivley as my prefered board.
