  1. NOW SOLD! Cheers, Huw. http://www.scotney.com/swatk/uploads/Woodpecker/2007-02-11_185441_OzoneBar.jpg
  2. Oh dear, what have i started? Sorry Al, didn't mean to get you into trouble
  3. Sorry about that Avs, really couldn't afford to buy yours when I could get this one for £100 less! It was purely a financial decision...
  4. The insurance only covers 3rd party claims (i.e. damage/harm caused by you to other people and/or thier property, it's up 2 u if u want 2 hurt yourself, just don't involve any1 or anything else! You don't have to do dangerous things to get a thrill out of kiting...
  5. If you join a club (like SWATK), you get 3rd party insurance included in your membership fee (as long as you state where and when you are flying before hand on their forum AND you have permission/are aloud to fly in that area). It also gives you access to some great sites around the country (depending on the club you join)...
  6. Rest bay would probably have been better as it's longer than Trecco or Barry... I tried my 6m Sammi down there last weekend and it dragged me over 200 yrds on my a*se! It's ALWAYS windy down there, but I had 2 give it a go
  7. Hehe, that's ok then. I c ur point anyway... deleted it now.
  8. lol, hard choice eh?

  10. Sorry about the size, couldn't shrink them 4 some reason... The 3 young ladies got in the way just as I took the pic of that kite in the background... so rude when ppl do that...
  11. I knew I'd seen a board with pics on somewhere (couldn't remember where, lol). Are you serious with the voyeuristic comment? Sorry if I offended you...
  12. Hey all, just thought I'd start some sort of a photo board which can be dedicated 2 showing off your pics (kite related ONLY please guys... ). So just to start the ball rolling, here's some I took in Spain this year... Enjoy! http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite2.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite1.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite4.jpg It's just rude when people walk infront of you when you're taking a photo! http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite5.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite6.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite7.jpghttp://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Woodpecker82/kite8.jpg
  13. Hey guys, leave em alone! I started off with sports kites... but got bored & dizzy just doin circles and figure of 8s! Now I get dragged down the beach in all manner of shapes and have to spend a week recovering! Hmm... perhaps I did the wrong thing?! WHO AM I KIDDING? THIS IS AWSOME! SOD THE SPORTS KITES
  14. Nice 1, I tried out my 6.0 Sammi last sat in 15mph winds and it almost broke me! Good job I had the pads and lid on (would have been much worse without them)! Gettin a 3m Sammi next so I can learn properly before usin the beast again (unless the wind's about 5mph ). Take it easy all
  15. Thanks all, feel better for knowing there are plenty of peeps around here. Just had my conformation email re my SWATK membership (also didn't realise that they regularly use Ashton Court)! Can't w8 2 get my 3m Sammi and get goin properly... Take it easy all, Huw.
  16. Where abouts in Wotton is there? I'm in Tortworth...
  17. I finally sent off my membership application form to the SWATK sec today, so i'll hopefully be all legit soon! I was just wondering if anyone living near Bristol can suggest some good places to static fly around here? I'm in Wotton-U-Edge just north, but willing to travel. I just want somewhere decent where I can be safe(er) when learning some new moves etc... I'm saving up for a 3/4m Sammi (which I'll hopefully get at the show this year), so I'm not desperate to get out yet (well I am, but my 6m is just 2 big 4 me at the mo)! Anyway, give me a shout anytime either on here, by PM or msn (see my profile). Take it easy all, Huw.
