HELP: The right beg/int gear for SF bay area
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2004 8:13 am
Hi,
My wife and I just took lessons on Maui and would like to continue with the sport here at home in the SF bay area. We are at the point where we "almost" water start. Guys on Maui could not suggest anything for SF conditions. I'm 6' - 200lb and my wife is 5'9" - 155lb.
- What would be the minimum setup so we can share kites and board(s) for our level for the next 1-2 years?
- What would be the best value options (quality to price)? Should we consider used gear?
- What sizes for kites and board (s) do we need? They are different by brand, right?
I'd really appreciate your help. Thanks,
-Alex
P.S. Any suggestions on wet suite (brand, thinkness, etc.) and the rest of the setup is welcome.
