Thanks for the responses fellas. @ Krazy Kiter ... resistance is futile! You know you want it!

The psycho 4 does that when it turns as well. Its to do with the triple depower kite changing to more c shape when depowered thing that flysurfer have got going on. I think it is actually designed that way to make it turn faster. Doesn't affect the performance on the P4, though it takes a bit of getting used to.

Good photos. How does the turning speed of the 15 compare to the S2 12? Cheers

Selling my 8m pulse 2 to get something smaller as there is too much overlap with my P4. The kite is in superb condition and more details and photos of it can be found here: http://www.foilzone.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=11917 Here is the official blurb: With the development of the PULSE 2, FLYSURFER brings a new advanced Self Inflatable Kite to the market with extreme depower, superb light wind performance and excellent handling with maximum range of use. To create a worthy successor of the PULSE, FLYSURFER R&D have invested over a year to give the new PULSE2 a surplus in performance, depower and handling. To bring your kiteboarding to the next level! Extensive wind tunnel testing, new design software and creating numerous prototypes which have been put through their paces in all kinds of wind-,weather and testing conditions, together with the feedback of our team riders and product testers, FLYSURFER was able to create a superb free-ride kite. Numerous improvements and novelties were made to the PULSE2, making it the most advanced Self Inflatable Kite on the market: Flight Characteristics http://www.flysurfer.com/images/content/2007_10/pulse-seitlich_vorlage_f_we.gif With a further optimized and thinner profile combined with a perfectly balanced distribution of power throughout the canopy, a complete new level of performance has been achieved. These improvements give the PULSE 2 superb depower, combined with extremely good light wind characteristics while remaining unmatched handling response. The PULSE 2 will bring you to ‘The Next Level' The increased inherent stability of the canopy decreases the risk of a front stall even more. The outline of the PULSE 2 was further changed to give an even more direct feedback on the bar. Turning speed is also substantially increased, without annoying back stall. A big plus for wave riding and performing radical manoeuvres! Furthermore, every size of the PULSE 2 has undergone optimized size-specific development to perform at its best in the desired wind and wave conditions. The bridle of the PULSE 2 has been newly designed from the ground up. This has specific advantages for the rider: http://www.flysurfer.com/images/content/2007_10/soft_steering_detail_200x15.gif The kites' bridle has been shortened considerabley for less tangling Optimizing your personal trim is easier than ever before! The already well known Hard/Soft Steering is from this point on continuously adjustable allowing riders to adjust according to individual desire. In this way, the rider can decide between extremely high or extremely light bar forces – up to 50% lighter than any other Kite.Relaunch/Safety http://www.flysurfer.com/images/content/2007_10/bubi_welle.gif The entire canopy of the PULSE 2 is extremely stiffened with new profiles inside and therefore makes overflying or blow-outs almost impossible. This benefits the rider directly by allowing for problem-free performance at the edge of the wind window. By optimizing the outline of the PULSE 2, the relaunch has become even more simple. If the Kite is leading edge down, just pull one leader line and the kite relaunches again. Penetration by water is further prevented by lengthened Air Intake Valves. The PULSE2 comes standard with the Full Depower Safety ( FDS ), this incorporated 5th line system is preferred by many kiteboarders. Giving the rider a further developed and optimized safety, which combines the highest safety level with the possibility of a re-launch! Cheers

Yeah, no good on a high tide as groynes get in the way, and there are restrictions on where you can fly; you can fly in front of the car park at the end of camber; the zone is signposted. Gets very busy when the wind is good.

I went a couple of years ago now, you can kitesurf there but you have to launch (and if I remember correctly kite) up from the big rock on the beach - which you can't miss. I only had a twin tip at the time and that was all I needed, there were no real waves - it was just choppy. That said plenty of people go there to surf, so they must get some good waves, just not when I was there.

f you're from brighton you can kite from the beach at King Alfred, or go to shoreham, or lancing, or worthing. Lancing on a low tide is pretty shallow, just be aware of the new kite zone and don't launch from the beach in front of the green. There's usually plenty of us out there, so come and have a chat before you launch.

You shouldn't be relying on your kite to get you home; what if you've had to completely release the kite and you didn't catch it, maybe the dump valve has opened or the bladder burst. You don't have to expel all the air from a foil on a deep water pack down anyway, so if you need it you can keep some flotation in it. I have enough bouyancy in my wetsuit/impact vest to keep me afloat and have good enough swimming skills to get back to shore, as I hope we all do.

I have. It's not difficult. Like with every kite it just needs to be done in the right way.

I would; I really miss my old bego; but the missus has just crashed her car, so I got to buy her a new one:mad: Have a bump for a great kite

To register for a CIS card, phone the inland revenue on 0845 366 7899, register as self-employed and ask that they issue you with a cis card. Takes about half hour. You can work on site anyway, but the contractor is obliged to deduct 30% from your wages. Its a 20% deduction if you are cis registered. At the year end you'll need to do some accounts and if you go to an accountant you'll probbaly end up with a tax rebate. pm me if you want any other info.
