oscar?

I will be when ive got the gear and im up and running.

Sorry to take over the threadm but whats your kite & colur hadenz? i may have seen you setting up.

Hey guys & girls. Im thinking of starting lessons tomorow or so, but however, im not sure where will be best to go etc. SHQ in Sandringham OR Kite Republic St Kilda. Which ones better, or are they both just as good. Its more convenient for me to go to SHQ as it is up the road, i can also get discounts because my sister is mates with one of the guys, Max, that works there. But i dont want to go there just because i have the chance, i'd like to have good lessons etc. So yeah some help would be awesome, thanks guys.

young gun (lachy) is a big boy, biggest kid in the year level by far, you know those odd kids out, the huge ones, thats him.

Okay ive made my mind up, 100% sure on what i want. Im gonna get Mystic Warrior Harness (white & black), Ozone Instinct 11m kite and the Force RX board in 135. Hows that sound, Joel, Kona? And ive been told to get this board from some guy out at Burwood who has a shop. Details of this shop would be great. Oscar?

Okay Joel, i will go out this weekend, buy my harness, save a little bit more, do my lessons, then buy the kite, then the board when im ready. And yeah Koma that would be great if you could email me some pics of the kite, im really interested. And maybe next time your thinking of coming down to Hampton for a surf, just give me a buzz, and ill come check it out. So yeah guys, this has been so much help, more replies are welcome, and very helpful! Thanks, Oscar.

I now know a lot more than i did 5 minutes ago. Thanks a lot! Oscar

Okay, i just took great notice in this. Looks like ill be talking to you & the guy in mount Waverly about buying a kite. Yet again, thankyou.

Ok guys, Im really keen on the Ozone Instinct, The Mystic Warrior & I havent looked into boards yet. - The Kite - Okay, so far ive been told that being a beginner, i should be looking for a arge 'Depower Range' & an easy launch kite. Does the Ozone have these features? - The Harness - So far ive only read rave reviews on it. Im really happy to buy this soon. Is it the right product for me? Thankyou very much, Oscar.

Okay cool, thanks again. I've also decided on how im going to go about buying things. 1. Lessons 2. Harness 3. Kite And ive decided on going for the Mystic Warrior, North Styler or the Best Waist Harness. Heres a couple of things im looking at. Advice on which are & which ones aren't for me would be great! http://www.extremekites.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=5699 http://www.seabreeze.com.au/Members/Classifieds/Gear/2006-Ozone-Kites-Instinct-11-metre.aspx?id=e04e&search=0nJvRyfYPfA9IcdHHpyIeXvraE8BD%2fRz4jGukDt51uG4gkUit0Thsg%3d%3d http://www.seabreeze.com.au/Members/Classifieds/Gear/2007-Ozone-Kites-Instinct-Sport-2007-11M-15M-11-metre.aspx?id=ehi9&search=0DTMbK3hcE7tUDej%2bfBQ43a0gs%2fY0vmIY8%2fMLP5Y0XM%3d Are any of these suitable for me? Thankyou, Oscar.

Okay, thanks heaps Koma. Lots of help here. and now i have an insight on what i should be looking for. Im thinking of looking for a board & harness on 'SeaBreeze,' or heading down to RPS and having a look. Thanks, Oscar.

What is this set up like? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEBTOX:IT&item=250210230651&_trksid=p3984.cTODAY.m238.lVI Thanks.

Hey guys, im taking up my first of three lessons, some time this week, so i need to start looking at gear. I was thinking about getting the harness, then the board then the kite. Im looking at a harness to suit my semi slim waist. Im about 160cm tall. I weigh around 60 kg. So yeah. A kite recommendation, that is around 07, 06'ish is is mint condition, a board that is 06, 07'ish, that is also in mint condition. and finally a harness, that i will buy new. Thanks heaps guys. Links to reviews, pictures posted & sites with the kite, board or harness on it would be heaps of help. Thanks heaps, Oscar. I also thought this thread might be help to someone else starting out, that is around my height and weight who dosent have aclue what to look for.

Even the loader on the site is cool But yeah looks like a cool magazine! Edit: That cover shot is awesome!

Ok thanks heaps Lachy. Ill probably go down there with you or something, as i dont know too much about the sport, yeah ill talk to you tomorow man. Thanks Thanks for the replies guys, keep them coming, they are heaps of help!
