Ok my instructor said that before i start kiteboarding i should wakeboard to see how it is to be pulled on a board. i did that today. when kiteboarding do i also have to put as much pressure on my back leg to…not faceplant?
are there any other difference between the movements in kite and wakeboarding?

Well of course you know the obvious difference. Your intructor was very smart to make you do this. Yes you do have to put as mcuh pressure on your back leg, that is for not only balance but height! kiteboarding you are in way more control than wakeboarding…..its up to you where you go and what you do and in wakeboarding you rely on the boat.

For kiteboarding can you use a wakeboard or do you need a kiteboard?

Beginner boards (long boards) are in the 150cm to 180 cm range. Advanced or short boards are in the 90 cm – 136 cm range. If you are just starting out, you probably want a longer board. Personally, I don’t see why you couldn’t, it might just take some getting used to its responsiveness if you are just starting out. I would advise taking lessons if you haven’t done it before and get an adequate setup to make your riding and progression more enjoyable.

Some kiteboarding at a couple of beaches in Southern California.
