I'm new to kiteboarding and have always used my skis but was thinking about getting a snowboard. I'm gonna take a couple lessons to learn how and was wondering if you use the same length for kiteboarding as well or do you go up or down in length a bit. The other thing is how do most like the binding...

Dave, thanks for the reply. One last thing. What size of board works for conditions around here? Is there a big difference between something in the size of a 142 vs 135 or 142 vs 146 in a main weapon kind of board?

Is this at a store where I can use a credit card or is this a cash only event?

Oh yea and I'm 6' and 175 lbs.

So I just got a kite and now I need some advice on boards out there for our conditions. I'm new to the sport but I'm also not looking for a board that's so big that could out grow it. If that's even possible.

Thanks

Guy's thanks for all of the information. It confirms a lot of what I've been learning. I'm looking forward to take some more lessons and getting into this.

I just started taking lessons and was wondering what the correct kite size would be for the Minnesota winds. (first kite) I'm looking to do both summer and winter riding. The lessons I've taken have been out of state so they couldn't answer that correctly. I'm 6' 175 lbs. Any suggestions on kite bra...
