150 TECH Choose your Board Choosing a board can be a daunting task. There are so many choices on the market today so how can one ensure that the decision is the right one? The key is to find what will work best for you by asking yourself a few simple questions. Why do you kitesurf? What was your draw into the sport? Do you want to ride off into the sunset?

Typically boards geared toward this discipline are softer. Really comfy to ride in choppy conditions because of the soft flex. The goal is to make it as enjoyable as possible. All - Round A bit of everything, the do it all board. Decent at everything but not phenomenal in one direction or another. Medium flex.
Freestyle Usually the most feature packed with higher end materials used in the board such as carbon fiber. Offers the most performance and is made to deliver good pop. Sometimes the rides of these boards can be a bit rougher because they are
