Hi fella came back last week after a week of wind good 12m weather ,the only thing i would say try some other beaches mangroovy and buzzha there is alot of learners at movenpick.
-
I would say get one don't worry about lookin like a begginer safety must come first,I have been kiting for 5 years and still wear one . I've had lines snap and the kite crash into the sea and go flat a deep water pack down with a kite which doesn't float is scary ,wear one it will help your confidence .

I m guilty also.

Hello guys great advice im also going to the movenpick next friday with thomson cant wait constant wind and warm seas . w1nd have a nice one might see you there.

I would also dissagree with andrew as i learn't in westshore yes you do have to good to kite at high tide as there is rocks everywhere and when there is flat water the channel is only 50m wide so as a learner you have to be very careful to stay out of everyones way, also when the channel is emptying there is mussel beds and a lot of rocks oh and a boat wreck. You only have a 2 hour window each side of high tide when its safe to kite if your a learner the rest of the time i would not bother, i have seen so many people rip kites on the rocks and land on them legs first. Damn good beach you just have to be a bit more alert than most other places.

hi i used to tie mine to a sand piled board and let it sit on the safety you cant use the normal technique as you only have 1 front line at the bar. pete

Is it ghey kitelooping and landing facing the way you came???
isk57 replied to mattfat1's topic in Kite Surfing
overdoing it i would say ,when your coming into land your kite has past 12 and started goind the opposite way .keep it at twelve for a soft landing and just before you hit the water send it whatever way you want to go. -
has anyone tried the battery operated pumps you can get they look like a cordless drill without the chuck .
-
check out WORKBENCH: The Ultimate Kite Pump : The Kiteboarder Magazine full instructions for the mega pump.
