    I'm currently riding a Shinn Duke 6,0. Yet I'm looking to buy a Firewire kitesurf. My weight is 103 kgs and I'm 190cm. What would be my ideal board? Do I go for a FW 6,0? I ride in all kind of conditions and I'm really keen on getting to know FW better. Belgium is looking forward to more FW on the water! Regards

    Bobby,

    I've got a couple buddies around the same size that are using the 6'2" and love it. That board is very surf oriented, if your looking for something that is more light wind oriented the 6'0" has a bot more float to it.

    Thanks for the interest and looking forward to seeing more FireWire in Belgium!

    Brian,

    Thanks for the advice! Looks like the 6,0 is more to my interest because we don't always have the perfect windconditions in B. It's a plus to know that 6 is more lightwind oriented.

    Fro you info... Our local shop is puching FW for sure!
