You went straight for the top notch expensive gear nicee! :D I moved to Clearwater Fl about 4 years ago and didn’t know a thing about Kitesurfing. I was driving to Miami not long after moving here and on my way to the Skyway I saw all these kites to the east side of the causeway. I have been wanting...

146 is a big board, good for learning while still being able to be used for freestyle. A good alround board for you is may be like a 142 x 42 or 43 . If you plan on getting 2 boards then the 142 will be you everyday board and then may be a 150 or 155 for light wind. Heres a tip , Dont get a big flat...

Alot of people never realize how much different one type of board is from the other . Alot of people buy garbage boards just because its cheap or a good deal and never know what its like to have a solid nicely rockered board under their feet. IT really ups the fun factor by 10 :D .

See if you can find a flysurfer radical 6. Great board. Great for jumps and great for rough water Like the monarch very controllab...

All waist harnesses ride up i think. May be if u crank them really tight but then thats another problem. Stick with a seat harness.

Liquidforce spacecraft , I belive thats a hybrid directional board. Mayb thats your issue. The board is not designed to be ridden in both diections in the same way . But try moving around the footstraps so that your stance changes , As a beginner you should just get a regular twintip . Thanks for th...

Most knee and leg knee problems are cause by your stance on the board or just the board itself. try switching around the bindings, put them closer together or wider apart or the adjust V angle . And see if it goes away. Also be sure to fly the correct size for the wind speed ex smaller board in high...

Yes, I definitely need to learn how to jump.

Next time show us a video please.

Keep in mind different line lengths amd quality when comparing bars. I flew the same kite on 2 different bars and was surprised how slow and sluggish one felt over the other , One had original premium lines and was 21m and the other bar were no name lines and 3m longer. I chalked up the noticeable d...
