which bow ?

Met up with Chris recently at Calis Beach in Turkey and he reccommended this forum. Have completed beginners course and need to buy kit. Keen to go for bow kite but which one? Weight is 75 kg so assume i will need 12m. Do not want to spend a fortune as i expect will be crashing alot

. Any advice appreciated. Jez

The best thing to do is get out and try a few. Personally Im Sonic all the way, The Instinct is also sweet, but personally the sonics the one for me. Are you looking for new or second hand, as the second hand bow market is pretty slow, except for a few that werent very popular, which there are plenty of.

If your around here Ive got a selection you can try and so Does COL.

Live on Wirral but no problem travelling as would be good to try first. Is tuition available? I have managed a few waterstarts but only a few metres of riding so far

. Happy to go for new kite but also looking for 2nd hand beginners board to get me started.

Most people teach go for the new kite, second hand board option. Yes tuition always available.

All the best
