Hi, will the proper kite size make a big difference toward a successful waterstart? I’ve been stuck at this stage for a little while and feel that it’s holding me back from progressing further along. I’ve taken two waterstart lessons from two different people (training with a 13m c-shaped kite) and the different bits and pieces of advice still isn’t helping me ride. As of now, I can get up but will plop back down when I try to waterstart. I also feel a bit underpowered. I weigh 220 lbs and my home spot has 20-25 mph winds on a good day. Therefore, is the 13m too small considering my weight and wind conditions? Should I consider getting a 17m and keep practicing? Thanks.

its hard to give advice over the internet, but I would say that the correct kite size is very important! If you dont have enough power then riding will be much harder, if you have safe kite control, try a little bigger kite size for more power... or simply the wind is just too light... in the end the instructor should be advising you

I am the first one arrived here :D

How is it possible that in these beginner videos there is plenty of wind for kiteboarding, yet the water is so flat?! Magic? This is not as simple when the waves are bashing the board off angle or out of position.
