Which Surftech Board to Use For Kite Surfing?

Gary Siskar recommends the JC Hawaii 5'10" SD-3 in TL2 because "it is off the hook for me and kiting. It makes me surf like Dorian! Ha. No, really the board is great. I don't know if it is my mind playing games but it feels really good under my feet. The TL2 feels like it has a bit of flew. I have rode the thing in everything from ankle slappers to about 3 feet overhead and it has been dreamy".

Josh Mulcoy says the only board he ride is his TL2 model; the Stretch Mulcoy 6'0" TL2. "For myself it is the perfect board. It is my favourite board for surf. So it crosses over perfect for kite. In kiting I want to ride the wave like I do surfing, it turn really well and holds the power of the kite. Also going upwind is quicker than ever before and not too bouncy as some boards the same size are. I have ridden this board for surf and kiting for half a year and haven't even buckled it, super strong." So for all you guys who like to really throw your board around this sounds like a great choice from Mulcoy.

Two times PKRA freestyle world champion in kitesurfing Martin Vari has two boards to recommend from the Surftech Lineup. The first being the JC Hawaii SD-3 6'0"as it's "one of my favourite boards, it has more speed on the turns, than many of the other boards. It gives you the control, you can manouver the board at any point of the wave with control and its gonna hold the rail as long as you want but when you want to tail slide it takes a fine touch".

Vari's second board is the Channel Islands KS 6'1", as he says it's a great Board, supper skatty. "It's one board that I can surf and kite-surf with no problem. The kind of setup that I like".

Pro Kitesurfer Cameron Dietrich has three great board from the Surftech range to round off our listing with, they are; Webber Squash 6'0", Channel Islands KS 6'1" and the Rusty 6'1" Project. First of the Webber Squash Deitrich says the "board is an all time board. It will shine in all conditions; I have kited this board in sloppy head high onshore conditions, to triple overhead conditions on the outer reefs. This board really is a great board, if your kiting it be sure to ride glass fins".

Dietrich also has some encouraging words about the Channel Islands KS as it is the favourite board he used. "It was the best overall board with its low entry rocker and high exit rocker. This allowed for clean overall riding with clean crisp turns. This board controlled both big and small surf with ease".

And finally the Rusty 6'1" Project: "this board pin tail holds so much through the turns, you really need to ride smaller fins. I ride Future F3 glass fins, these fins don't bend through the high speed turns that this board will give you. I have used this board in indo to Hawaii, it's a really great al around board.It does it all. A very nice board".
