The main spot is Leeside park on the bay side of Okaloosa Island, but anywhere you can find wind and water is a good spot this time of year since the beaches are still empty. Liquid Surf N Sa...

If when you ride you have plenty of power in your kite, the 130 would do you just fine. If you are riding in light wind conditions then i might go for the 135. My recomendation for a gr...

I also have a demo 12m Boss if anyone is interested.

I have a demo 9m Smoke available. I don't have the 135 but i have a 130 blunt demo also. Just let me know if your interested.

If your looking to get into surfing, i would get a board with all of those features, just in case i wanted to try strapless one if i just wanted to surf. The wainwam surfboards have all of those things, its the next board on my list, they even have the wide boards for less perfect waves like the one...
