I want to ease myself into foiling and I’m looking at the double agent as my entry level into this category of kitesurfing. I have only ever been on twin tips
Is cabrihna double agent my best option to start on this year learning to use a surf board with fins and then hopefully buy the foil next year
Any other boards that offer both setups
I don’t have endless time on the beach hence why I need to do it progressively and not buy a foil which mightn’t take off
i started last year on the cabrinha double agent. it was free and loaned to me by a friend. although i saved some money by not getting my own setup,,, in the long run and looking back, i now wish i had just bought much earlier what i mostly use now, which is a North Sonar with 1150 and 1650 wings on an 85cm mast. i remember being shocked at how smooth that 1150 wing rode, it was light years ahead of the old cabrinha. maybe the cabrinha double agent you are looking at is newer or something,, i don't know.
i found the older cabrinha double agent really holds you back after a few sessions, and when you eventually upgrade, you have to re-learn a lot of muscle memory stuff. i wasted alot of time. if you don't have endless time on the beach,, buy something nice the first time and it will last you for years. the North Sonar now comes with a carbon mast and fuselage option with a bunch of new front wings. i ride mine on some slingshot foil boards, mostly a hypermiler and sometimes a bird.
