Im also a surfer/windsurfer/kiteboarder, and havent found that happy medium yet. I have 73 BicMiniBu with footstrap inserts, but its not hard enough rails to work in light wind kiting and too small for windsurfing, besides being a little sluggish for surfing.
Problem is minimum wind for windsurfing would be around 20 with a board small enough to kiteboard, but still not allow good jumps due to physical size. If you ever find something that works, tell me. Too hard to keep most windsurfboards on edge in any kind of breeze, and weight at 13-18 lbs. is waaaay too heavy for lightwind kiteboarding. In medium wind kiteboarding, you can cruise around, but that get boring fast, as jumps is the call. |

| Dont waste your time on this. The force angles effect the board so differently that you need different designs. Its like trying to cross-country on specialty Jumping skiis. |
