best with surfboards is to swap boards out and learn about them as you go yourself, even the surfboard industry itself is about as full of 5hit as it gets unfortunately.
This is literally dead wrong advice. It's pretty much the worst thing you could do to learn. Riding a longboard with a kite is so much harder than a shortboard, like 10x harder.ciscokitesurfer wrote: ↑Tue Jun 26, 2018 3:29 amif you just want to learn before the trip borrow a malibu (longboard) and practice and practice.

That's true. In general, here in Brazil we don't buy that branded kite boards made in China. For me it's expensive crap and I could tell many reasons.longwhitecloud wrote: ↑Thu Jun 28, 2018 1:19 pmkiteboarding is full of garbage clueless marketing regarding surfboards for kiting unfortunately its kind of embarrasing, nothing wrong with that 6' to learn on and keep riding on.
