Hello ppl,

I wonder if I can have some opinion about doing some kite with a sandboard on the feet on flat and soft sand.

Does the board responds quickly to turns?!?!?!

My main doubt is the performance of the board in turnings, because I'm used to my mountainboard. I believe that the jumps with sand board might be higher!!!!!!! and less wind is needed.


Thanks,

XM_Dude

Have seen the guys going downwind with small sand skis, but the big challenge would be to be able to go down wind....
If anybody's achieved this...

Used a skateboard deck with nylon webbing & blindnuts for straps.

Version 1.0 is still in testing, a bit draggy (What did you expect? :wink: ), but it may be my 'technique' (As in 'I don't have one yet' :D ).

It is hella fun in light wind. I would LOVE to try an old snowboard...
