Anybody tried it? Saw a guy on the way outta T'ride setting up for kite-snowboarding. I bought a 3.6 and have been practicing with it but haven't been able to try pulling with it.

Wish I had a kite at Loveland last week. :biggrin:
Your 3.6 should be enough for snow kiting. A lot of guys around here make their first ride on a saucer down wind and walk back up wind. As far as skis go some guys love them and others hate them. A couple of new guys this year said it was easier to learn on skis vs. snowboard. I know there are a few of us that kite on this forum but you will get a better answer on [URL="http://www.kiteforum.com"]http://www.kiteforum.com[/URL or http://www.mackite.com. I know there are a couple of video clips with skiers on mackite.

Altasnob, Kiteboarding is my ultimate goal since I seem to get blown out wakeboarding more and more it seems.
