I live quite a ways from the ocean and and have a land board but i also wish to kiteboard water.

I am looking for a multi purpose kite. Wondering if any one has experience with using one kite for both or could offer any advice.

I guess the only prerequisite would be water relaunchable, also what size would maximize my kiting time (Perth water conditions) and also land time. I am 6 ft and 75 kgs

Land boarding you don't need a big kite like in kiteboarding, so if you want to land board and kiteboard you will be underpowered with one kite.

Probably be better off getting a kite for kiteboarding and a trainer kite(biggish) for land boarding

i call boolarks to needing smaller kites for landboarding. when experienced you use the same sizes.

you can fly inflatables on the land. look for a bow style inflatable. the C's and bridled C's aren't so flash on the land.

Or you could look for a flysurfer or peterlynn arc.


personally i kept my ozone depower foil quiver and add some inflatables
