Sounds like a sensible thing to do to me...What size Windtools Booster have you got??

It would also be helpful if you gave us an idea of which beach you're likely to be at...I can tell you (after spending days working on my Beachguide) that there are LOADS of beaches in this little kingdom of ours.

Have you seen the page on the PL Waterfoil set up on this site.... It works really well...but might not be necessary in the smaller sizes...the safety system part would still be useful though.

Inflatables dont pull all that much for there size. To compaire it to a foil you usualy have to half the size of the LEI

The PL water foil is a grunty little kite & pulls well over its sizs would sugest. Beleive it or not I should think the booster wont pull that much more than the water foil.

When you first get their, get the PL out. If thats pulling alot dont get the Booster out. I know it sounds simple but the ammount of ppl I see hanging, way over powered, under there first big kite is frightening. Be carefull

Watergate Bays a good one if your that far down, theres usualy a few kitesurfers around & theres a kite school there. so might be able to blag a few free tips.

Remember stay away from ppl & make sure theres a lot of room down wind of you.

have fun

Steve
