So im an experienced formula windsurfer, wakeboarder, and want to get into kiting, in south florida formula windsurf was the way to go because of its lightwind capabilities, but i need help on kiteboards,
i weigh about 150, but i am having trouble figuring out what board to get,
i want a board with lightwind capabilities but i also want something that will be good to get up and jump.
what size would be recommended if you had to pick a 1 board quiver.

a 132cm long by 43cm wide twintip with flat rocker will take you from 10 knots to 30 knots

that is by far my best light wind board, better even than a sufboard or skimboard

HQ has come out with a new board. Check them out (http://www.mykitestore.com/1/post/2012/08/hq-freestyle-boards-new-for-2013.html), they look pretty cool.
