Hi guys... Does anyone know 'kiter jess' from Syd as I would like to find out what surfboard she rides. I'm looking to get a strapped surfboard designed for girls...

Note sure you will find a surfboard is designed for a girl as such, but more so that some boards may suit girl
Demo a few

What wdric says,

Its more to do with what sort of surf you intend to go out in, your weight and patience to learn something completely different to twin tips.
May be better to try an old, cheap shed banger first up and see if you like it from there.

But once you get the hang of it.....

You can Have a go of my 5'10" North WAM, I'll put the straps on the board for you if you like.

Hey Kate...
.
That's the spirit, get into the waves!!! Have a go on my boards to if you want and see what you like.. But you will probably want something you can put the straps on if you want. Had a spin on grants board and it rips.. Fells a lot different to traditional boards..
.
.How is the wind up there??

Hi Kate,
I don't know which Jess u r after? I'm a Jess, tho Ezzy is right, I'm currently a Newie kiter on a 5'6" The Duke by Shinn. I just put straps on it for the first time a few days ago for onshore chop.
Cheers
Miss Jessie
