OK, rather than getting too much into specific brands/models, what type of board is best for planing/going upwind in light wind. I'm looking at 10-12 knots and using a 14m SLE kite. My options are:
a) large twin tip (think Spleene Door 64 or even homemade)
b) surfboard (6 foot plus?)
c) skim board (w straps).
d) other?
Looking to see what has worked best for those of you out there. My current 140 cm Element only starts going around 14 knots or so (probably due to my lack of skill, but still...) and it would be great to be on the water rather than the beach.
