   Hi everybody,
   
   I recently got familiar with the firewire kiteboards.I am 1,8 meter (180 cm) tall for 61kg weight. I consider myself between beginner and intermediate(almost intermediate i think) I kite already some time but recently took up waveriding. I don't do radical move's yet.I live in Belgium where conditions are not that good , no clean waves but mushy, wohbly waves and sea. I have 3 kites : 6m,8m and 11m.The idea is to buy one board that would give me the possibility do use it in different conditions as I would like to take it abroad and use it also in the conditions of other country's.The board would although be used most in Belgium.I was hesitating between Hellfire 5.6 , Taj 5.11 or maybe Hellfire 5.10 as I read that this one is comming out next year around april.Thanks for your advice!
   
   Vincent

   Hey Vincent thanks for the interest!
   
   At your size/weight the 5'6" Hellfire would be a great board for covering all kinds of conditions. It has decent float (more than the Taj) and can be setup as a quad or tri fin so really versatile.
