Gear Advice - Beginner Prone boarding set up

Hello all,

Been looking for a beginner prone foiling set up and got offered the below kit on FB:

  • 4’6 37L Konrad Carbon Flyer
  • SS1300 low aspect surf wing
  • ST1100 medium/high aspect surf wing (few scuffs)
  • SS330 stabiliser wing (few scuffs)
  • SS290 stabiliser wing (brand new)
  • 75cm Carbon Mast and Fuselage kit
  • Storage/Carry bags.
  • All titanium nuts and bolts = No corrosion.

I haven’t seen too much on Konrad and just want to make sure they are solid / will get me to where I want to go!

I mainly want to prone and get some dock start practice in. The seller is asking $1350 for the whole set up and from an inexperienced guy, it sounds like a great deal.

Thanks for the advice in advance!

Konrad is fine. It’s not a good setup for dock starting though. Seems too small for dockstarting to me. Would be fine for prone.

Not a terrible deal. Not a smoking deal either though.

Don’t worry about having multiple front and rear foil options. Just get the one foil for the thing you want to do. The more time you spend on 1 foil, the more advancement you will make. Ask around the local beaches for a Unifoil progression 170 setup. Being able to put your hands on the gear before buying is a huge plus when you don’t know what you’re doing yet.

You could try the guys at @foilshop. They can probably put together a good deal for you on a progression setup that won’t be much more than that used price. @foilwithme on instagram.
