Newbi needs help with purchasing equipment

Post by mossman »

Will be buying new;

Wetsuit – Prolimit 54xl Pro Steamer 5/3
Dakine Fusion + pivot bar (12”)
Helmet/retract leash, gloves, boots, etc.

Will be buying new or used;

Slingshot Jarvis Board 150 or Fanatic Easy Rider Board 150

North Toro 12m complete or Naish Boxer complete (all new)

North Toro 2003 14m used – no bar or lines = $300 usa

Naish x3 12 m used $300 usa or Naish x2 12m used – no bar or lines $200 usa

The main area that I will be kiting is BBay as I live four streets from 3rd ave entrance to the beach, I am sure I’ll be learning into November.

I am leaning towards getting a used kite as I’m sure I’ll be crashing it.

I’m not to sure what kind of bar/lines I would like to get for the used kites.

Any ideas or thoughts/comments
