So how does sizing your board work?

This is a great question! Since most of the board is above the water is there a suitable size to begin with? We are floating like a fakir on the wing cutting through the water so we are basically weightless. There are a few variables to consider. Your level of riding is a big variable, but since our page is focussing on the beginners we set that variable on the starter level. So what other things are important?: The waterstart getting your board out of the water initially helps if you have a board with more volume and of course, a kite that can help you with a steady pull in the right wind conditions.
