thanks to everyone for the comments and suggestions. Sounds like I need to make sure I have enough wind for the kite I have out at the time, also sounds like I need alot more practice at the process of picking myself up out of the water. Mick I agree with your comments while I've stood and watched for many hours, you guys make it look effortless at the transititon of getting up out the water. Anyne got any good training videos or anything? Maybe I also need a slightly larger kite for the lighter winds due to my weight. Maybe a 14-15m? What sort of wind speed do people suggest for that sort of size. Cheers

Hi, I know this is going to sound similar to you guys as being 'another kiteboard size' thread. I have searched and read through a few old threads. Your help would be much appreciated. I have recently just started getting out on the water, a few years ago I did a fair bit of landboarding etc. I completed a 3 day kitesurf course and enjoyed it and been out a few times since. I brought some more kit, A 10.5m and 12.5m Ion2's and a Airush kiteboard 140 x 40. I'm a big ish guy at 6ft and roughly 16st. What's peoples thoughts on my kiteboard size for a beginner? I always seem to get to the point of starting to 'get up' out of the water to find that the starts to sink in the water. Now I know this is probably down to skill in keeping the power in the kite while getting going. But would a bigger board help with getting going? Getting slightly frustrated I can't seem to even get going for 10+ metres. Is this just 'practice' makes perfect? Again your help and experience would be much appreciated!
