My eye lit up at that price thought at least l'd get my money back if it was no good

bargain mate you'll be up and riding on that in like nooo wind, and when you eventually want to progress on to something a little smaller you'll still have a board that you can get up on when people aren't even bothering to go out

[kiteboarder-F16]

yeah cant beat 20 quid for a board

[kitegirl]

Absolutely brilliant, well done dad!!!

 

That's awesome, seeing a bargain go to a youngster.. how fab

 

Hope you get some action in on Jersey then!

Thankyou everybody can't wait to get on the water now l love my 9m phantom and the board

Still want to know do l need 4 fins or is 2 on the heel side enough to start with thankz Nath

[madmarkymark]

You should be fine with 2 heal side fins, unless you have a bit of experience (wakeboarding etc) and are looking at riding toe side. I was on me heel only for at least a year.

 

Have fun - fly safe - Madmarkymark

[keyrb101]

with boards of that size they sometimes come with two fins in each corner to help grip this makes the first few times out soo much easier.

[Tzwengali]

You will be fine with 2 fins - as long as they are on the heel side, which I assume they are? In fact it might even be easier, as you will not run risk catching the front toe side fin in choppy water.

 

The toe-side fins are really mainly used when riding toe-side, you might find 2 second-hand fins somewhere to put on your board before you attemp flipping or carving into toeside, but for the time being you are all set - ENJOY!!
