I've been looking at the new line of kiteboards that Liquid Force is selling, and trying to figure out what is the major difference between those and my current LF wakeboard. So far what I've found it that my wakeboard is actually bigger than most of them, primarily because it is wider, but also longer than some of them. IN other words it has more surface area than the avg kiteboard they're selling.
The biggest difference I found is that my wakeboard's rocker is 2.25", whereas those of the kiteboard line are 1.2-1.8. How much of a difference does that 1/2-1" of rocker make? I'm a beginner and went out and bought about $800 in kite bar and harness set up so far. Do I really need to spend $400 more on a new kiteboard or will my wakeboard suffice for now? just doesn't seem to be a big difference.
