Kite Twin Tip - Buying Guide
- What Level am I at!!
- Weight to board size – this is really important for a rider weight of around 70kgs we would suggest a 135 x 41 cm – 140 x 42 cm and for a rider over 70kgs – 138 x 42 cm to 144 x 44cm.
Furthermore, what board do you use for kitesurfing? The most relevant shapes and styles of kiteboards are twin-tip boards, light wind boards, kite surfboards, and foil boards.
Then, how long is a kite surfing board?
An average kiteboard size is 135cm - 145cm x 38 - 41cm. Light wind kiteboards are typically wider 145 - 165 x 45 - 48cm. For beginners, a larger board is helpful to smooth over mistakes that drive you downwind. Eventually, you will develop a personal preference and feel out the board that is right for you.
How do I choose a twin tip board?
What makes a twin tip work is that there is enough surface area (length x width) to give you lift as your kite pulls you along. If you do some math and work out the surface area of some boards, you'll notice that adding a cm to to width has a much greater effect on the area than adding a cm to the length.
