  1. I short cut this and bought one interesting though all the same.
  2. yes nest year so get your self sorted for then..
  3. no one else, seems the armarda lot don't come on kitecrowd then? I see what you mean.. very odd.
  4. Hey up! I enjoyed it.. I started out on a 11.5m and my super wife called in at Pagham and as stated the wind was going to change I dropped the 11.5 and put up the 7.5 and headed back out.. a wise move in my view. I was riding along with little no effort enjoying the strong conditions and watching peeps on 12m and 13m kites in 35knot winds.. mad f****s LOL!! I think I would use a smaller board next time I went with a large board to take the strain on my legs but in real terms I think it might have hindered me abit in going down wind. I was tacking alot where as others where managing to go down wind. It was only towards the end that I started to feel some pain in my upper legs.. first one leg then the other.. all i did was ride one way until it started to hurt and then tack and ride the other way till the other leg was painfull giving each other leg a rest it worked.. I called in at littlehampton and called it a day as they did as well ( the event ) as a storm was coming and it was. But still some of the best conditions I have been riding in ! epic strong winds really smooth and constant! amazing stuff ! I had a map on my board, some on laughed I didn't when i needed it to find littlehampton! I taped SIS energy gels to my helmet again some one laughed I didn't with out them being out the way taped to my helmet I would have lost them when i needed them the most ! can't wait till next year.. All the peeps that helped out at the marshall points are the real hero's we where just the mad fools they where standing in the freezing driving rain waiting for us mugs to come in! Respect where respect is due the marshalls, hip hip!!

  6. Dyneema Kitesurfing Kitesurf Kite Line Lines 480kgs/1058lbs Breaking Strain | eBay Mine do not need changing right now but I am thinking before winter I might swap out my lines for new ones.. there is a cost saving but are these any good it's looking like the feed back is decent and if some one is making them from home and making them right then there should be any issue. just asking .. PM me if you don't want to post up in public but would be good to see some feed back.. is it any one on here making them?
  7. No body kite surfs in Southampton. You either travel to Calshott £65. A year or hillhead free or there was a guy who kite surfed ex UNi out off Western
  8. Can I ask how many people have been hurt when using a reel type leash I have yet to find one or talk to one. I have spoken to some one who got hit by a surf board leash lucky he came out ok.
  9. I've replied to your PM I got to say try finding another 2009 11m in the UK? esp one not repaired! mine is not repaired and does not need to be .
  10. added some close up photo's gave it a wipe down and look over.. had it pumped up in the garden for 4 hours still solid as a rock when i came to pack it down. The most on there is a couple of spots of what I think must have been rusty water from the old bar that the PO used to pack it with the bar and lines attached and it blead a couple area's not really noticeable and certainly don't do anything to the kite. infact they cleaned away to a degree with a baby wipe over.. Cracking Reliable kite just needs to be used !
  11. I wear boots... heck I wear just about every thing.. boyancy aid, helmet, camera, boots, gloves ION steamer suncream what more can I add to the list! LOL I have never riden with anything less so it's just the norm for me now.. you know the day you don't ..........
  12. bump.

  14. Best Waroo 11m 2009 Really nice kite, black and white in colour. Used but like anything it's not brand new it's not worn out it's used and in good condition no horrors . My main kite, no rips, no sewn repairs, no leaks, nothing. Flys like a dream. I don't know why but the 11m was very over looked as a kite and I don't know why.. I am riding this when most folk are on 12m kites. I think back in the day people suggested a 9m and a 13m and that was all you needed. Well I don't agree the 11m is what works the best.. Just that more power but just as much again De Power. Which makes it a kite you want to push and start to do a few tricks with. Works with you and is perfect kite for newbie or intermeadiate rider to start tricks on. Only selling as I have pulled the trigger on a new kite Kahoona v5 £210 mail here or meciscool@yahoo.com
  15. messaged you about a kahoona
  16. 2013 Flexifoil Force 11m kite I bought this new and it's a peach the kite is amazing, the speed the low end grunt is great the hang time wow! the hang time, it really does hang about!!!!! but I am not there as a rider yet. For that I am going to hang off till I catch up as a rider. It rides up wind like no other kite i have ever riden that's for sure. Used 4 times it's as new. Build quality is amazing even compaired to the Best kites I am used to it's second to none. Kite, bag and Pump ( unused ) £500 Cheapest 11m Force out there. I do have a Hadlow bar and lines these are extra. These where bought to go with the kite and they are really nice. Lines are much thicker than any lines I have seen before so you can really push hard and not worry. The bar is really grippy and rides really nice. Contact me here or meciscool@yahoo.com
  17. I have a Best Waroo 9m 2008 ( fast slow setting kite ) Near mint condition used under 10 times. I got it from the first owner who used it 3 times and it showed! I bought it after seen loads of dogs for sale. I used it 5-6 times but now my Kahoona 7.5 and my 11m Waroo take the place of the 9m so with huge regreat I now want to sell it.. £220 kite with bag. All in outstanding condition would really suit a new rider or some one upgrading from older gear as this is about as close to a new kite as your going to get for the money. Because of it's lack of use. Even the Bridal has not bleached white! There is one tiny nick on the kite ( 5-6mm) that has repair kit repair on both sides. Coloured to match. Just being honest. Personaly I think this is better than the Kahoona V1 as good as the V2 it's only the V3 that it's not. The V3 is amazing. So if you want a reliable as new kite this is it. Drop me a line here or email meciscool@yahoo.com
  18. Pants !!! I guess I missed this I had a few wanted adds about.. oh well.. any one else got a 11m ?
  19. See you there then I know what you mean I about TT. I had a square one airush and I sold it.. It would have been perfect for this. So floaty and punched though the chop. I might have to see if I can get another or ask to borrow it back
  20. didn't Gary at 1080sport sell these I am sure he mentioned their name a few times. Sad but I can't see many kites selling at £1000 a pop it's very tough!
  21. BOARD NOW SOLD thank you.

    LOL!! £3-5k then I would pop along to the Van Auctions and get a Vivaro. But as you know it's fraught with danger but one that looks like an Ex company well serviced van should do the trick.. Transits are ok but just rust! Do you want to see more pics of my van :-p
  23. I have signed up.. I intend to do as long a distance as I can. But not sure I will make the whole distance it is some drag for sure!! 40miles! If I can get past Selsey then I am a happy boy. Bognor and I am really cooking Littlehampton and well I might as well get to Lancing! is it me or not many people taking it up.. I think it's a great idea!
  24. Your right, there are times when it's empty. Alot of the time peeps are at work.. I am self employed so when I can I try and get down before the crowds so you can use the whole area.. Meon is another place round the corner. But on the whole Hill Head is perfect set up area and car parking. I need to get a Go Pro for sure.. my cheap China thing is ok but the quality is poor. Might see you down there some time! Normaly on Best kites or a Flexifoil Force and there are not many of them up there. 3!
