The BFG Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Guys, Sorry one of those................"can i have your opinion" type threads. Looking at getting one for my lad for xmas. He's only 7 (but a big lad) have been looking at (dont LAFF) ebay etc............. Mindless or Exit for around £60.00 they going to be OK for a starter board??? Many thanks Quote
Tim186 Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 They will be ok as a starter board, but the problem with the boards you mensioned is that they tend to be very heavy 8Kgs or more. so at 7 he may find it a bit of a handful, how about one of these http://www.powerkiteshop.com/boards/scrublioncanyonseries2.htm its 20 quid more than the others but will be alot better Quote
Prattymatty Posted December 5, 2005 Report Posted December 5, 2005 Try a Scrub mountainboard, good for boarding and kiting! http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?sofocus=unknown&sbrftog=1&flt=9&from=R10&satitle=Scrub+Lion+Canyon+Board&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&bs=Search&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search&fgtp=&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D3&sadis=200&fpos=Postcode&ga10244=10425&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi= The Scrub Lion Canyon is quite light and a small style board so good for learning! Good type of professional(ish) board... try that link or just search for it in ebay, there is one selling in Bristol so you may be able to collect as its nearby! Just be carefull with what you buy, seeing as he's only 7 it might be a bit early... but then again i could be completely wrong! 'start young' or so they say... They sell for around £100 usually so dont go for the one over £100 Quote
