4 line is the way to go, even if you are just beginning. With 2 lines you really have to work the board against gusts and lulls. With 4 lines you can sheet in and out in lulls and gusts, this gives a greater usable wind range. The disadvantage to 4 lines is if you drop the bar there is a bigger mess to untangle. I learned on a 4 line and have seen many other do the same with out a problem.
