Here is my setup, I'm not sure wether to get a bigger kite or specific board.

I kite in Cocoa Beach this is my first season and I can stay upwind and I am learning to jump with more control. I am mostly in the ocean, but on north winds i hit the 520 slick.

I currently have an 06 12m waroo and a 2003 16m airush lift. I dont really use the lift anymore seeing as the waroo covers its range. I have a 2003 litewave 148 and I weigh 180lbs.

Here is my delima, This combo has worked from about 15mph through 28mph it is below that that I cant get upwind or even downwind in some cases on the waroo and LW148.

What should I do.

I am thinking that a board like Agression SP or the Glide would be fine, but at $700 should I just look at getting size or two bigger kite? I am sure I will be buying boards down the road, but I just want to ride when its blowing 10-16mph for the rest of the season.

any help would be great!

Hey, go and get a surfboard. It makes light wind fun and you can pickup a used beater for under $200. ( craigs list or your local surf shop.

Foot straps are optional, but you can get your own foot strap inserts here:

look for the kiteboard section near the bottom of their page.

....and buy your straps from Extreme Kites.
