ok thanks so would a bar or handles be better for buggying and static jumping? is it worth getting a depower bar for a foil?

can you confirm if this bar is a depower bar? pictures look like the middle line is fixed to the bar. http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=flexifoil%20Traction%20Extreme%204-Line%20Control%20Bar%20with%20Safety%20System&hl=en&sa=N&tab=f thanks

ok nevermind. i have a sailing expert next to me...sorry a fit sailing expert next to me who has just explained the concept of tack=ing...understand now and the diagram helped. cheers guys and gals

thanks for the replies although still not sure im understanding, im on about how to get the kite to pull you against the wind...not the physical turning of the buggy. what angle do i have the kite at to catch the wind etc.

hi all new to buggying. can go with the wind no probs (obviously) but the return run against the wind is proving difficult. - its not happenin! any tips or guide appreciated

eh? I thought id like a new kite and the blade is a simillar size to the pepper. people say its more controlable for boarding.

Im very confident with it. And to be honest ive had some wicked fun on 10m depowerables in high winds due to the control of power. But my pepper is nuts. For example i try to spin it to untangle and it just goes into an uncontrollable spin for ages...

Fun kite in low winds - just seems to be far too agressive when it goes beyond 8mph. Yet others say it should still be controlable in 15mph+

Yeah and when launched, or indeed at any time it travels through the power window during static flying, it just drags me off my feet and is very agressive to fly.

Aye Im gonna have to learn to play with the setup of my PL cos that just seems to face plant me a lot of the time at the beach. Is there any advice on setup tips?

What would you say is a stupid wind? I fly at fraisethorpe so higher winds than inland. about 15mph ish. what ya recon to that?

Agreed on the arc front - i was torn for ages between the sabre and the PL scorpion. ah well - ill just go 2nd hand for now.

HI 4.9m Im about 14st. Looking to board mainly. Was considering a big depowerable foil but a bit out of my price range at the mo and my pepper isn't fun at the mo. The rage 6.0 seems to fit the bill also

Am i right in saying this is a rather mental kite? At times i struggle with my PL pepper 4.5 (could be a setup issue tho) But would like a new kite and the blade seems to be awesome from the reviews. Probably going for a 2nd hand Blade 3. Whats the wind range on them? Cheers

Just reading the write up on it. Altho ill be using it on land 99% of the time id like to be able to go on to the water without buying another kite. It says the water relaunch requires some skill - how hard is it? Thanks
