Can You kitesurf on a PU foam surfboard?
Although you can use your “surfing” PU foam surfboard to start kitesurfing on flat water or in small waves, be aware that the board’s deck is likely to collapse quickly under the pressure of your feet as you ride it with a kite. Surfing boards are not designed to resist the intense pressure from kitesurfing, namely edging upwind.
