I know this is frowned upon but please support a homegrown Kite Surfing company that have just gone online. http://kitelements.com.au/ sorry for the blatant PIMP but this is a 100% home grown project worth supporting. They are offering FREE worldwide shipping and gear is awesome. Cheers

My main bladder is dead. After multiple attempts to fix it i have had enough. I am in Oz but I wonder if anyone knows where I should start looking for an 'official' replacement? Or is there an alternative? Cheers in advance

Just sold my 10.5 Ion 2 cause the Atom 08's are here! Nah I rushed in and bought the 10.5 at my weight (70KG) you need the 8.5 and 12.5 soo confusing. Never got to fly it on 5th line but the 4 line in waves was fantastic!
-
Just thought I would let everyone in the UK know that you are in for a treat with the new Atoms on the way. They have been available here in Oz for the past month or so and reviews are coming back thick and fast that this could be Flexifoils greatest BOW Freeride/Freestyle ever!. I have flown and purhased the 9m and 12m and am utterly stoked! Start saving kids! Cheers Sci

Ha Its photoshop at its worst! you should have used the lasso tool with a tolerance setting of 10pixels to give you an almost invisible layering of the rider against background. The magic wand just selects all pixels that closely relate in hexedecimal code hence the background is all shot to pieces. Give me a while and i will docter up a photo for you!

Have to agree i feel more comfortable flying my 7.8 to my 4. The upwind performance of the 4 sucks pretty hard in my opinion or perhaps thats my lack of skill, Has anyone else found this?. Either way bigger is better and as long as you are careful and dont make any stupid moves you will get the most out of your session with Bigger Badder Blades. Just make sure you have a good set of kk's so you can let it go when the going gets tough! I set my 7.8 in big winds the other day and was over powered but i took my time and got BIG stinking floaty airs so go BIG or go home!

Its the same in every extreme sport, everytime i go surfing i see people way out of there depth who are either going to drowned or skewer someone with there board. Its inevatable really.
-
What tit?! Perhaps he wasnt wearing kk's and did'nt want to let go . It looks painful but i **** myself when he picks up a kite and crashs into the marquee pity about the quality cause thats £250 pounds from small hand Beadle!!!

It is incidents like this that will eventually lead to more beaches having kite bans. After all having misguided idiots flying deathtraps on the beach is not only putting their own lives in danger but any poor sod who is within the same vacinity. It is people like that that give the rest of us a bad rap! I recall an incident cant remember the beach...where a lady was walking along the beach with her kids and WALLOP!!! a buggy knocked her for six amputating her leg in the process. She died of blood loss . The guy says he didnt see her as he was racing....I mean jeezus. Maybye we should do a Point break and warn idiots to be careful or cut their lines. Fly safe SAN DIEGO!!!

Just in case you missed it first time round. Check this little video clip out showing what happens when you hit a updraft wind thermal. The guy is in the clouds hanging on for his life. He says : "I thought I was kiteboarding not sky diving" This really opened my eyes http://video.tododo.com/airtime/airtime_by_radicool.net_wmv9_320x240.wmv

That video could seriously cut your flying time!!! That guy was sooo lucky jeezus christ lol

-

What's the correct procedure when you fall flat on your face?
scianders replied to dazzadude's topic in Landboarding
hey Dazza check out this link as it gives you all the advice you need for getting started. Which kite are you using, oh and get some kite killers. http://www.kiteatb.co.uk/ -
Typical isnt it, you wait all week for a bit of wind and when you do it is accompanied by a big lot of the wet stuff!!! Does anyone fly on in the rain?
