I'm skinny 193cm tall and only 72kg. So yes I look like a beanpole ...
@mick I'm in maidenhead but mainly kitesurf in Lancing & Camber, where are you based?
Hi All,
I'm looking to buy my first board. I'm 72 kg and have a 10.5m kite. Have a chance to get my hands on north gonzales 143cm.
Does it not going to be too big? All advise appreciated. Thanks
Seems like more & more questions have been risen everyday, strange though no official response has been given yet...

Ps. Mick which part are you?
"If I can't talk my buddies into following me and don't want to pay a stranger a couple hundred bucks to follow me in a cheap little boat just in case there is trouble, is it reasonable to make others responsible (and at risk of harm or death) for my poor judgment without their consent?"
"I think the whole thing comes down to one question... is it responsible to take risks which have a high probability of ending in the need to be rescued by non connected people risking their lives to help you. What if one or more of your rescuers is killed attempting to save you... is it worth it?"
Point me if I'm wrong but this cannot be real... This might be use close to the coast but not at open sea (in my opinion) something like catamaran would be much better and could easy keep up with kitesurfer.
Now what would be more dangerous or irresponsible : No support boat or 3m pontoon with 3 people inside like above...
There are definitely more experienced people here who sail on open sea to tell us the truth
As a reference:
now go and follow the kiter with the above pontoon
