so after all the waiting I have my kite, lines, bar, helmet, and dakine harness but I cant get a board for the life of me .It seems like any decent board for a big guy is minimum of $400! Rediculous......Im soooo tired of watching this progression dvd its not even funny. Even a guy in Melbourne has a 4-6 week wait on customs...WTH? Somebody help me Seriously though if ya have a hook up LMK. Looking for at least 148cm x 45 bi-directional. Well thats it thx for letting me vent.

your board is your most important piece of equipment..



MUCH MORE important than the kite

choose wisely

My board that Im trying to get is:2007 FLX by Underground 148cm x 46cm
however I may have to go w/ a cheapo just for starting off. I dont want to but I also dont want to be sitting on the beach

I would check out the crazy fly boards..

If you are on a budget:
ALLROUND 2008 by CrazyFly

If your not:
CRUISER PRO 2008 by CrazyFly
http://64.37.90.95/proddetail.asp?prod=cruiser2008

This is probably a more important investment than your kite. You can get away with less kites, by having a good board quiver.. and they are generally more than half the price of a new kite.

def appreciate it man. Ignorance is bliss. I thought I could get away w/ maybe a $200 board but its all about a good investment. If anything Im now into the $400-600 range. Thx for the advice
