Hi there,

I am looking for something a bit different to ride as I have a couple of weeks off. I am keen on the naish 5'2 skater. I have read some great reviews has anyone got any feedback on the 4'8? Is it too small. They arnt cheap and I can't find a second hand one so wanted some advise before I buy. I have been riding boots for years and I am 6 foot and 75kgs. Cheers

I've ridden both and prefer the 5'2 for myself. I'm about 78-81kg's and it seems fine. For airs the 4'8 is nice as well but for overall and riding some waves I prefer the 5'2.

74 kg, 1,79m. I have the 5.2 and I think it is the perfect size. I ride it with all kite sizes from 11m down to 5m.

I have demo the 5.2 . I am also looking to buy used one. This board goes upwind very well and turn quick. It is also is amazing for wave. A surfboard is always better for waves. 4.2 is to small unless you weight is below 60 kilos cheers
