Does anybody have any recommendations for a good hotel at Nabq, I have seen some bad reviews about the Regency. Thanks in advance

Hi I have been looking at going out to Sharm El Sheikh in February. I am a little confused about the Kite Schools There, Colona Watersports and KiteJunkies, are they essentially the same company. They seem to both get good reviews and the same managers names keep popping up.

I had a cheaper tripod and found it useless, then I got one of these after many good recommendations. Less than £100 including ball head. http://www1.clikpic.com/Redsnapper/gallery_105148.html Highly recommended

Yup going Saturday, managed to get 2 for one on tickets

Hi Does the 9.5 come bith bar and lines? Would you take £170? I could pay cash and collect

I keep getting a site inactive message with all the flexifoil videos, tried IE and Firefox. Is anybody else getting this?

Would you take £190 for the 9.5m? I could send payment today via paypal if you wanted.

Hi Kite is not on ebay at present. Both kite and bar are still for sale. Dave

Bump

I have the following for sale due to wanting to upgrade to a Flexifoil Sabre 9.5m Flexifoil Blade III 4.9m Blue, White & Grey virtually unused. RRP - £379.00. Now on Ebay Extreme control bar - Brand New Never Used RRP £79.99. Now on Ebay I am open to sensible offers for either item or both as a package. If anybody has a Sabre I 9.5m for sale in good condition let me know. If you want any more information please ask or PM me. Here's some more info but if you are on this site I guess you know how good they are. ------------------------ FLEXIFOIL BLADE III 4.9M ------------------------ An outstanding 4 line traction kite supplied with lines, handles with kite killers and a branded Blade III backpack. All items are original Flexifoil This is the blue, grey & white version and is such a cool kite. It looks excellent in the sunny sky and you will draw a crowd of jealous onlookers who will laugh as you get grass stains on the seat of your shorts The Blade III comes with the highest quality extreme pre-stretched Dyneema® flying lines to complete this high performance package. The flying lines are 225kg and the brake lines 100kg and they are 25 metres long The kite killers are excellent. Put the strap around each wrist and velcro shut and you are attached to your kite by elastic, then if the kite overpowers you (which it will) just drop the handles and the kite will collapse and fall gently to the ground ready for you to relaunch. Not only does it save you from injury but it also stops your lovely kite from disapearing over the horizon or landing in the nearby brambles and getting shredded. You are always safely attached to your kite I bought this kite about a year ago and I have flown it a few times. It is still nice and crisp with no marks or damage anywhere. The Flexifoil Blade III is the ultimate in ram-air inflated traction kites with huge lift for land, snow or water use. Recommended for intermediate to advanced flyers - and those with no fear...The Flexifoil Blade III is the ultimate kite for all traction activities. Ideal for buggying, landboarding, snowkiting, kitesurfing or just sliding around. Flexifoil Blade III 4.9m Surface Area: 4.9sq.m Wingspan: 4.95m (16 ft 3 ins) Aspect Ratio: 5.0 Number of Cells: 30 Sail Material: Chikara ripstop nylon Bridle Material: Sleeved Dyneema Skill Level: Intermediate Wind Range: 3mph+ --------------------------------- FLEXIFOIL EXTREME CONTROL BAR --------------------------------- The Flexifoil Traction Extreme bar is aimed at land, snow and water ram-air traction kite users. This control bar has a revolutionary adjustable spinning brake line safety system. On activating the new chicken loop primary release system the leash pulls the brake lines, killing the power in the kite. The rider is left attached to the kite via the leash attached to the two brake lines. The chicken loop has a built in swivel so that the flying lines can be unspun after doing a rotation. Flexifoil Extreme Kite bar is rated at 350kg making it strong enough for serious traction use. The Flexifoil control bar comes with specifically designed thermoformed EVA grip making it comfortable on the hands but grippy when you need it. 1. Bar end - Solid inner sections for direct connection to the kite and soft outer coverings to protect your hands. Adjustable, colour coded leader lines. Each bar end has an elastic loop to secure the flying lines in place. 2. Super grip – Maximum control and zero slip whilst riding. If we gave it any more grip you’d have to prise your fingers free! The grip is also colour coded so you won’t grab the wrong side of the bar after a handle-pass. 3. Brake line adjustment strap – Allows you to trim the brake line tension and increase the kite’s performance in variable conditions. Also, when pulled in it secures the kite when parked. 4. Swivel chicken loop - Allows the bar to be spun to remove twists from flying lines whilst staying hooked in to your harness. 5. Chicken lock - Detachable chicken lock which sits on your spreader bar allowing you to easily secure your chicken loop. Also incorporates quick release webbing pull strap. 6. Single action primary release – This is a very simple, effective and reliable primary release system which detaches the chicken loop from the brake lines, leaving the chicken loop attached to the riders harness. The geometry and design of the webbing flap and release cover keeps the release force low even when under high loads from the kite. This gives you the confidence to operate the release in any wind conditions. 7. Secondary release - Quickly detaches bar and kite from flyer. Use in emergencies only! System is activated by a simple pin mechanism for reliable use. 8. Landing handle/ground stake attachment point - Situated at the bottom of the depower strap, this allows you to land the kite quickly and easily. Use this point to attach a ground stake to secure your kite when on the ground. -------------------- Thanks in advavce for any interest. Dave
