meh to much effort only happened once when i wasn't paying attention il just make sure my kite doesnt fall out of the sky again

\ Blue ozone sport I had my donkey dick come out when my kite fell out of the sky on one particularly low wind day... kite regained aerodynamics just before it hit the ground and i went flying, donkey dick came undone and i was on my face!

your kite as i was walking down

I think i saw you on my way down to hampton beach

I learnt from Bryon at SHQ he showed me all those things - either shop are probably just as good, my friend learnt at the kite surfing academy the most convinient one is probably the best both are gonna teach you just fine most likely

no probs i had the same predicament about 3 weeks ago

have you got out into the water in your lessons yet? try going into shops and spending some time talking to the staff about what they think, also since shops are atleast a little biased on what they are selling ask people on the beach about there kites, also if you can try as many as possible. but if you ask anyone about there kite they all love them so its really upto what you want and are used to.

you can get an Force board from kite power... thats were i got mine from

what have you been learning on?

I'm 60 kg and the same height as you and i fly a 9m instinct sport, my friends a bit taller and about the same weight as you and he flies a 9m cabrina omega, and my other friend is about the same again and he flies an 8m switchy 2 - but it depends on the wind range ur after - we go out in about 17 - 30 knots

theres a whole gang of us that kites at hampton, about half are probably at your level... me including (just got my stuff couple of weeks ago) if your down there and the winds over 18 knots we probably are to, just looks for my ozone instinct sport - i havnt seen another down there, come say hi!

even if you buy the kite and a harness and "demo" a board if you need to or borrow a friends if you can, yould be less likely to damage a board than a kite and there hard to loose at hampton cause thel probably wash ashore before green point... hopefully

were do u kite? u local? me and my friends are normally down that way

go talk to SHQ if ur near there what part of melbourne?

Hi I'm Hayden Zylberberg, I'm 16 and I live in Melbourne been traction kiting for about 4-5 months, before that i was using 1 line and 2 line stunt kites as i grew up. Started with a 4m Buster II on the beach, but after about 3 months and 2 accidents, one involving train lines and the other the roof of our local life saving club, my parents wouldnt let me continue on the land (they even went as far as to make my sell my beloved PKD buster II!) and so have just got my first set of kitesurfing gear, a 9m ozone instinct sport and a force flyboard. I still wanna land board and will eventually have to convince my parents to let me get one, I also want to give snow kiting a go. I'm am unemployed, so broke on a permenant basis and just about to start yr 11. I'm a very outdoor person and try to be outside when ever possible I usually kite on Hampton beach and I'm hoping the wind pick up so I can practice and get used to my new gear! Hayden

Naish Aero II 18m with bar, no lines, Blue Will take any reasonable offer

SOLD!

yeah whats ur offer?

kool im gonna go over to kite power when i get back from my holiday (in SA) and get all this gear sorted.

arnt they both 5th line anyway? hmm colour seems the way to go...

what would be better a 07 north rebel or an 07 instinct edge?

yeah i wasnt going for a C i was looking at bow or hybrid - im currently looking at a rebel but the instinct sports looked good 2 what size? what boards are good for me?

right so ill look at getting a 10 or 11 my friend says the 5th line would be to complicated as a first kite, is that true?

kool 11m is my new target no matter what they argue... since they are only starting (one has 1 season and the other started this season, and on windsurfs) I naturally take it you have more exp so im gonna go with u guys! does it matter if i get a 5 line cause they argue that its over complicated for me (they both use cabrinha bows switchblade 2 and omega)

what sort/size kites do that?
