are slingshot wakeboards ok for kiteboarding? I am going in for lessons soon and I really don't feel like regretting buying a new wakeboard if I like the lessons and want to get a kiteboard. I know the kite is the most expensive part for kiteboarding but I would rather wakeboard with it and not have to get the kiteboard if it doesn't make too much of a difference for kiteboarding and have a new wakeboard because I have an old 2003 model. any thoughts?
thank you

also any thoughts on ronix boots for me if they are lighter or anything

Considering slingshot started off by making kiteboards and later incorporating that tech into their wakeboards I think it would work just fine. As far as bindings I currently have a pair of 11 LF Sovens and 12 Ronix Cells, the Cells are a lot lighter then the Sovens and more comfortable.

I found it much more difficult to get upwind when kitesurfing with a wakeboard, switched to a kiteboard and everything got easier.
You CAN kitesurf with a wakeboard but the rocker and fins are so different you will struggle to improve your kiting.
