  1. Are the front and back lines supposed to be the same lenght or not for a blade 4.9? Ive had to replace with some older shorter lines and now its not flying well....thanks
  2. As the title says, any recommendations from peoples experience of good schools to train as an instructor-obviously is going to be abroad that time of year! Cheers!
  3. Thanks peoples, and Jon, nice little sales pitch there :-), fair play! Anyone else out there got any input on this issue aswell?....cheers
  4. Yo both my elbows are quite messed up with tennis elbow which has been caused by kitesurfing the past few years. Every time I go out it flares up badly and is a pain-literally. I know ibuprofen can help a little. I`m looking to buy new kites to see if that can help, either ones with super light bar pressure or else would switching to C kites help as it`s more of a constant pull rather than the on off power of my hybrids where all the force constantly goes through my arms from sheeting in and out-or have I got that wrong? I currently fly an 11m Rev and an Ion 2 8.5 m Thanks
  5. You can buy and wear a kitesurf specific flotation vest. They really help with the swimming confidence issue if you get into trouble further out from the shore.
  6. The Ion 2's are excellent all round kites, and the 8.5 and 12.5 will make a good quiver to learn on. I have the 8.5 and it's my favourite kite. In strong winds it has good depower, absorbs gusts well and boosts huge jumps.
  7. Thanks I will look into some of the suggestions made here, cheers.

    Tarifa

    March in Tarifa, winter 5/3 wetsuit or summer 2/2?
  11. Anyone got experience of which glue to use to stick footpads/deck grip onto a normal surf board that I`m using for kitesurfing? The pads that I have didn`t come with the peel back paper that you usually get which you take off and expose the sticky side. I`ve tried araldite which has partly worked, but it dries quite brittle and pulls off the board fairly easily. Ideally I`d like to get glue which stays tacky that doesn`t set rock hard so you can peel it off and restick the pads or move them about,but obviously would have to be suitable for marine use. Cheers
  12. Pm`d you
  13. It`s the roundabout on the map on old fort road ( not ferry road as I originally posted) sorry to confuse you Ferry road is where Stormriders and the new cafe is based.
  14. You need to head to the roundabout about half way down Ferry Rd and set up by the beach there mate. there`s been a debate recently for everyone to try and enforce that we all launch from there and keep the public and council happy. The tide times aren`t great thurs and friday ( better around low tide ). Have a good one:cool:
