  6. Unfortunately, need to sell my Blade. Tis in perfect condition with no rips or tears, holes or scuffs; just got a couple of mild grass stains which will easily come out on washing. I have had it just over a year and it has 1 careful previous owner from new. Reckon it probably has only been flown around than a dozen times in it's life! Comes RTF with lines, handles and rucksack and is fully set up at its optimum settings; hence it flies like a dream. Only selling as I'm cracking on a bit now and need to go for a less powerful option! Photos on Flickr: Flexifoil Blade II 6.4m - a set on Flickr Looking for £160 posted. Thanks, Steds
  7. Hi, you have a pm. Cheers
  8. Hi, I learnt to board using a 3m Radsail Pro on a beach in clean winds, which did me just fine (I'm 14.5 stone) ad got me moving well. The Pro is meant to be of similar flying characteristics to the Blade (def. not in material durability though!). I doubt that your Blade at the size it is will give you any nasty surprises or major challenges and the extra lift it does give you will probably help you stay up on your board rather than hinder you. Bigger kites are slower through the air and hence give you more time to think etc, but if the wind kicks up when your in the middle of a session, can be scary! Personally, I have preferred a kite that I needed to work a little bit to get me moving. After about a year of regular practice in increasingly stronger winds I purchased a 6.5m Blade II and 10 and 13m Guerilla II Arcs, which I still love to use. Obviously newer kites have more advanced design features, but I don't think they are that far removed from earlier designs and if you buy a decent make, would go second hand for future kites until you are really proficient at boarding. Depower is fantastic and will bring another dimension to you kiting, and is definitely the way to go after a while, but there is also something special about boarding with a FB as well! Have fun!!!
  9. Just added a couple more photos of my G2 when i flew it at Llangennith Beach in approx 15-19mph NW wind, just follow link at start of this thread.
  10. evening bump for a kite in A1 condition (I am only selling as I am cracking on a bit [tad shy of 50!] and find I am not as strong or as bold as I used to be!)
  11. How about £130 posted?
  12. It says on flickr the my photos were taken in 2006, however that is the date that was in my camera; photos were actually taken on Monday this week.
  13. KITE NOW SOLD....................................... Selling my 15m G2 (kite only) as I find it a little too powerful for me. Looking for £130 inc p&p. Kite is undamaged and still in crispy condition as it has seen very little use, about 8 times by me and the same for the original owner. I have replaced one of the sections on one of spars with an aluminium piece - spar still folds and works perfectly. Spar pockets and velcro ends are in perfect condition, as is the bag. You can see photos at: peter lynn 15m G2 - a set on Flickr (Sorry that this link does not take you straight there - I'm crap at hyperlinking! just copy and paste it into your address bar) pm me if you are interested and need more info or to make an offer cheers, Mark
