Hi guys, this is my third year kitesurfing and these are my skills.
Passed the IKO lvl 3 exam, knows how to basic jump and slide turn. Toe-side a basic, really basic jibe.
I have some experience Windsurfing (up to planning)
Right now I ride North NEO (12,9,7) with an X-Ride 134/39. I feel comfortable with this board even over choppy water.
I went to Cape Verde 2 weeks and I really freak out to start to use a surfboard.
I was looking for the North WAM or North WHIP.
I need a board that I can ride on small waves and choppy water, easy to master.
My size is 64Kg, 1,72Mt. Some guys suggested me a 5/8" or 5"6".
Any good suggestion, even brand cause I really like also the Naish surf boards
