Who said anything about not having fun?? Look, some people choose to enjoy the subtle nuances of variation and what it gives you, others like to play safe and stick with one board...fins are another matter...however, once you understand those nuances, unless you're hard up, you will want more than board, simple fact...I've been in this game a long time but then I'm probably talking to the wrong crowd...anyway stoked for you whatever you ride. Technology is what advances the field, the designs just recycle around every few years, evetually everyone wins.

And yes, sometimes I will try different boards and adjust to them and it changes my riding and what I am capable of which I can them bring back as an additional skill to my older board and have some new tricks so it’s not all bad. I still just really like a board I don’t have to think about. It’s just there and I can focus on the waves and not changing techniques.
Cause it’s all about the feel of the wave and the lines we can draw. To me. YMMV
It means that a couple of cargo containers full of gear would be nice to have. But would it help you increase your kiting skill and enjoyment???
First, you can go shorter when kitesurfing if you are strapped because:daspi wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 2:18 pmYesterday we had waist to shoulder high waves and just enough on 10m kite. Took the Skillit 5' 10" out and it felt so good........
......... Can't be, must be something else out there... LOL. I might have to build a copy of it before it gives up on me. I thought that at 163lbs and 5' 11" I would need something shorter. Turns out that in real waves you do want something this long. After all it only has 20.5l volume.
