  1. Selling 20" Slingshot bar and lines. They have been somewhat modified so that the depower is above the bar. If you have used a Slingshot bar before you will know that this is normally below the line and quite hard to pull when the kite is powered - this solves that problem. Yours for £125 incl postage. I'm struggling to load the photos but have them on e-bay. link below. Slingshot 20" Bar & Lines | eBay
  2. It depends on how the 3 of you own the property. If you own it as are "joint tenants" you own the whole property jointly – which is what joint tenants do - in the event of the death of one of those joint tenants, the whole property automatically passes to the surviving tenants irrespective of any will. A joint tenant is quite entitled to sever the joint tenancy unilaterally. Then you become tenants in common and can dispose of their share as they please. If you own your home as "tenants in common", you each own a distinct share of the property & if your brother died without a will & without children that goes to his father. If you are tenants in common, the choices you have are similar to those available to a couple splitting up, or friends who have bought jointly moving on, where one person wants to stay in the joint home. You could offer to buy out your dads share or sell your share to him. There are also two possible avenues of legal action. This not a pleasant option, however you should be aware of it in case the worst comes to the worst. Depending on whether your situation fits the required facts, you may have a case (i) under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975; or (ii) if you are a tenant in common, that your share is greater than one-half on account of your joint intentions to the property, as inferred from all the circumstances including your financial contributions.

  3. The answer to your question is Cape Town for the 1st 2 weeks of January - anything anyone else says is just wrong
  4. Best 1 kite quiver??? Get a 7m & only go out when it's over 25mph. Low wind kiting is overrated.
  5. I think you are missing the point entirely. First in NO WAY does a leash aid safety. Second if your board always stayed on your feet this would be a mute argument - The point is you do lose you board. If you go for a jump & lose your board you inevitably are falling back to the water not in proper control, now what would you prefer a) You board is 10m behind you in the water & you have a long upwind body drag to go fetch it b) You board is dangling on a leash below you & are falling out of control with a decent chance of hitting your board with you arm/leg/head
  6. this
  7. I can report that, after close up personal inspection today (sic brag) - the crane is no more than 20m high. So while the climb may kill him, the jump won't.
  8. I agree with your original point. It's sort of like the mess Europe is in now. Just about everyone knows how to solve the problem. A period of higher taxes, capital investment & reduction in bureaucratic waste would go a long way. The issue is nobody knows how to do this & get re-elected. I'd like a system where all politicians were elected for 10 year & never allowed a 2nd term. Parties should compromise no more than say 20 MP's - that way you always have a coalition & they can temper each others crazy ideas.
  9. That makes perfect sense. I assume when I look around your house you have a British car & British TV. You made this post on your British PC right? or did you when you were spending your own money by a Japanese car, a Korean TV & a Chinese PC? Now imagine you buy trains for a living - you can spend the money buying expensive British trains or the cheaper German ones that work just the same. So why overpay for British built trains again? If they wanted the job they should priced their tender more competitively.
  10. Really?? There are plenty of countries around the world that the EU wants to trade with (most of Africa & the caribbean to begin with) these countries have actual raw material & food production that the EU wants to buy. What exactly does the EU need the UK for? Pull out & see what it's like having to queue for a visa to go to France on holiday. Suppose it won't matter much cause nobody will be able to afford it when all the multinational employers relocate their head offices to Berlin & unemployement in the UK triples.
  11. It's the Daily Mail- most of the readers are illiterate & are just looking at the pictures anyway.
  12. Kitesurfing will help your surfing about as much as scuba diving helps skidiving
  13. Need help chosing my next kite. Been kiting for 4/5 years, but cause I live in London it's weekends & holidays only. Here's a bit of my kite history for kites I've flown more than 20 times. - 06 & 07 waroos - liked them a lot, simple easy to use, easy to learn on kite - 07 liquid force havoc - wasn't a fan when I owed it but think I might like it better now. The kite basically had no bar pressure & was super fast, not a great combination when you are learning. - 08 & 09 revs. Love them - tried to change kites & went back to them. Why did Slingshot get rid fo them?? - 09 & 10 RPMs - couldn't get on with them. For me they just don't seem to sit in the window as well as the revs - I persisted cause everyone else says they are a great kite but have finally given up. - Takoon Furia - never owed one, but flown it loads as a mate has a quiver full. A few times I've had it invert on me, which means that while I really like flying them, I just don't trust them. Only 2 limiting factors in chosing the next one; 1) I'm not buying a new one so it's going to be 2nd hand. 2) I haven't got time to demo so I'm just going to buy one. I only get out once a weekend, so losing a day demoing kites isn't worth it. Thanks
  14. Pictures attached

  17. This disaster should change everyones mind about nuclear power. What we had was an huge earthquake & a devastating tidal wave hitting a 40 year old nuclear power station. Surely the very definition of a worst case scenario - Yet, as far as we know, not a single person yet received a lethal dose of radiation. Every source of power has down sides - what this proves is that the downsides on nuclear power are nowhere near as bad as we thought, even if this go pear shaped in the next few day.
  18. I know what you mean. I was watching Match of the day last night & they said Wayne Rooney scored a miracle overhead kick. But I mean other than some video footage, a few (thousand) witnesses & Rooney himself saying he did what evidence is there really - it proves nothing. A ball just wasn't designed to be kicked like that. I think it's just a publicity stunt by Nike I say fake
  19. Apparently it's real. Have a look at this thread Kiteboarding Forums - Jumping the Seli That boat is right opposite the Best shop is Cape Town & the guy from the shop watched him climb it.
  20. It's Tesco. In Scabble it's worth 8 Asda is only 5.
