So I decided after a few years debate to go ahead and start learning to kiteboard. I picked it up pretty quick and am ready to get my own gear and start riding. Anyone on here kite regularly or have any experience with it at all?

I'm trying to make a decision on a setup (since they're usually around $2K, I don't want to get stuck with something that's not going to work for me) and am currently looking at the Cabrinha Switchblade. Any pros/cons from those who've used them or have friends who do?

Been kiteboarding over 2 years, I don't think you can go wrong with that kite. I'm still on my old F-One Bandits, and once you've been at it a while you can get the skate behind it Very Happy

Just make sure you get the right kite sizes for your local wind conditions

Wakeskating's the plan once I get my riding dialed. I keep hearing good things about the switchblade and had a nice long conversation about it with the shop here.
They're selling all of last year's gear for cheap so I'm getting a full new setup for a good price. Stoked.
