numb nuts Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Hello dudes and dudesses Looking to buy my first landboard but not sure what to get. Aiming to use it for getting air and doing tricks. Any ideas what to buy as a first board? Quote
iancl1599968601 Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Any downhilling? I'd say MBS Core whether you plan to downhill or not, too many bad things said about the kite specific boards. Ian Quote
kite atb dude Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 a kheo air-s wood b good for what u want even better wood b the le version wich is what i have if u can get hold of them. Quote
spooky Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 Kheo Air-S, especially if you can get the limited edition with Primo Hubs and tires, but even the stardard version is spot on for all types of kiteboarding. Have fun, Jon Quote
kite atb dude Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 beat u to it spooky lol Quote
logicworkshop Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 My local shop Abergavenny Radical Sports is knocking out Kheo Air-S and Flyers for £175 - They are special editions with the Primo wheels - seems like a good deal! Quote

logicworkshop Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 It is a small town (but perfectly formed) and I am probably their best customer (see kitebag). Paul, the owner, is a mate but I get seriously p*****d off with all these internet stores who promise great prices and how they'll beat everyone elses prices then when you phone them up, they seem to have nothing in stock. On the other hand, walking into a fully stocked shop is turning out to be seriously bad for my bank balance I seem to be able to resist everything except temptation. Quote

ExtreemDude Posted September 15, 2003 Report Posted September 15, 2003 I ahve been waiting 2 weeks for a Peter lynn depowerstrapp and sleving kite from powerkiteshop and now am getting p****d Quote
numb nuts Posted September 17, 2003 Author Report Posted September 17, 2003 Thanks for all the advice and comments guys. I went to powerkiteshop yesterday and got me the Flexdeck. Tried it out today but the wind was a bit too erratic where we were. Thanks again all. Quote
