  1. Must had some beers before breaking in already. Easy day for the cops.
  2. Why not buy a 2 kite quiver that can be used on land and water. I'm thinking on a pair of secondhand Peter Lynns. Sizes....16 and 10. They can be a pain to set-up in the beginning, but they are a brick house in the sky so you can focus on improving your skills in the beginning. Authozenith is a nice future as well. WIsh you all the best, what ever you decide.

  5. Try 400 Polish Zlotty or 400 Yougoslavian Dinar. Maybe you get lucky.
  6. Open for offers
  7. Hi, Im Mischa, 36 years old ( or 16 years young when I''m kiting), living in the Netherlands and working in a daycenter for Drug/Alcehol addicts and humans with phychological problems. Verry often it's an combination. Still studieing on the side to get more knowledge. I'm kiting since 3-4 years now. Started with the good old Pepper, worked my way up by Gin Yoz to Flexifoil Blades and currently I'm flying Air Evolution kites. There are a lot of things what I like about Air Evo's. Same as with Gin Yoz...they hit me and I liked them immediatly. I will however try to be as neutral as I can be when it comes to advice and comments. My homespot...not that great but it's the best I have in the area. Wind can be crappy, it's inland and not too big a size, but there is always coffee, fellow kiters (Les Hombres), and a lot of fun. I board but give me a buggy and I will try to ride that as well. Sometimes I do. I am also member of FBC. (Flying Beach Cross). We organize kitemeetings for the periode of 4 days and keep it as cheap as possible. (Non Profit) This years costs are 50 GBP for 3 nights of sleep including the food. Can't argue with that one. And once a while I will sell gear which I don't use anymore, cause letting it stay in the closet is not an option for me. 3 Kites are more then enough, so when I buy gear, I also sell some. For now...rock on. (Fav bands Depeche Mode, Cure, Joy Division, 30 Sec. from mars, but hit me with some old Jazz or French chansonnes and I'm happy to) Greetz
  8. Having flown some Panshes of other kiters...(BlazeII, Ace 4.0 - 8.0) I can only say that the Ace 4.0 wil do the job buggystyle. All the Aces feels like they have a certain amount of lift, but they dont pull through. The Ace 8.0 is extremely slow in the turns, so jumping is quit dangerous accually. The smaller sizes are way better in the turns. The BlazeII comes without bar/lines and will do if you need a realy cheap high wind kite that stays in the bag 95% of the time. It would def. not be my choise as main flying kite. There is a reason why they are so cheap. Quality of lines and handels is just not worth it. The kites are build oke, but not exceptional. So it all depends on what you want from a kite. I want exceptional build kites, quick in the turns and flying speed and a certain amount of lift, but hangtime is what I really want. So I don't need to go up 5 meters, but I would like to hang around. My kites need to be good in their Low-end due to the average wind I get. That''s why I buy a certain type of kites. Kites I feel good about and feel safe when flying. Design is a bonus. Ask yourself what you want in a kite and things sort itself. Better to spend a few bucks more, then to regret things you bought. Do soome testflights with depowers, cause every kite has it's own charistics. Don't tighten your budget on the kite you will use most of the time. Good luck
  9. And one on a grey day
  10. It can take some sessions to dial into the boardingstuff. Most of all...don't go out in to much wind and start when you have kitecontrol. Goiing a bit down-wind will help you a lot (not sure about the 45 degrees, whatever suits you) and keep the kite high. When there is no pull, gently bring the kite down. What can help is tighten up the trucks. Then you won't be steering that much and when you lean back, you won''t make a short turn to see yourself going upwind for a few yards ending up that run. And be patiance.
  11. Yes i will post the pictures again, but my hostserver is down right now. Can send them by e-mail as well. just drop a pb with the mail adress.
  12. Some coffee, an energydrink, some fruitdrinks and afterwards a visit to the Mcdrive to top things of.

  14. I'm flying the X-airs at this moment and the depower is no problem for me. Can't say anything on the HUC's but I can say that the X-air has more depower then for example the Sabre2. My penny worth of thoughts. But most of all...fly what suits you and enjoy the ride.
  15. The part where they board over the water, shown in slomo is brilliant. They must have been really speed up to not sink in. Great shooting...pitty the DVD is just only 39 minutes.
