long board with kite???

[biggins]

Hi,

I currently use a skimboard when the winds get light, but am thinking of getting a 9-10 foot long board for the REALLY light winds, and/or just to surf with. Anyone else doing this and what size board/wind range are you getting. Looking to use a 13m only from 14knots and down. Might be nice to use the kite to ride out and then park it overhead and surf in on small waves just using the power of the wave. I think with enough flotation to stand on and not sink that the long board must be the best light wind option. It's not as fast as a skim, but for just riding it could be fun???? Thanks,
