Im just getting started too and on cab stuff also. Like they say that setup will work great. I weigh 95 kg and am really digging my h1200. If you can get the board with more volume. It just makes paddling easier as well for tekoffs. I documented my start in another post. My 2 cents, get a helmet and impact vest.

35L is pretty small for a first board.

Given you are a kiter, get the bigger board. Seen plenty of kiters struggle with paddling. so if that is you, get the bigger board. you can always downsize later
