After having the board I think I learnt to POP....sort of.
I went back to my T5 for a quick session and it really highlighted how good the Monk is in the chop. Im not that good but love the board.
Also think it may be the furthest travelled board as it has been to the Falkland Islands for a (very cold) session!
I have for sale my 9m Naish Cult 2008 + Bar.
I learnt on this kite and am selling as I have upgraded to 2010 Cults. The kite has 2 small repairs to the canopy where there were a couple of nicks. Has been there for 18 months with no problems and doesnt affect performance.
The bar has 25m lines and has been modified with a naish mini 5th line kit. It is worn but there is plenty of life left in it.
Also included is the original manual and repair kit.
£250 inc P&P
Good stable beginner/intemediate kite that took me from boardstarts to jumping and beyond.
3m Flexifoil Blade III on a bar with wrist strap safety.
The lines are brand new Ozone 25m only used once.
In good condition, selling as havent flown it for 2 years.
Looking for £80 inc P&P few pics atttached.
So i havent been in the water since Nov and am itching to get out.
Normally kite ast Calshot but wind not in correct direction so im thinking of making the (3Hr!) trip to Greatstone as it looks good for NE.
The wind looks ok (ish) averaging 14-15Kn so should be alright on my 12m
So my questions are
Is it ok to kite on an outgoing tide? (aside from the long walk back)
Will i get a bit extra wind from sea breezes?
Best place to park?
Thanks all
Going to Abu Soma on 9th Oct with my girlfriend.
Will we need any form of wetsuit or will rash vest and Boardies be ok?
Would also consider a thermal rash vest as an inbetween option (can anybody recommend one?)
Cheers
Weigh up the cost of taking your board...or hiring one for the week. I Know i'd prefer mine.
Think Thomsom are only £15...thats what it says on the website, if not ill be a bit miffed

Thanks for the advice,
The women on the phone didnt even know what water skis were.
The ski kit is free if it is below the 20Kg baggage limit ie you can have more than one bag but total weight still the same.
Its a bit ridiculous really.
For once Thomas Cook seem to be the airline of choice as they charge £35 for an additional 32Kg of Kite Kit..shame they were booked!
Off to Ras Sudr end of the month and am just booking my kit for the flight.
The airline want about 300 quid if it weighs more than 15Kg and 90 quid if it is less than 15 Kg!!
What are my options...these prices were saying that it was golf equipment! Do i stuff it all in my bag and take the board as excess or take the lot and try and blag it at the airport. (then repack in double quick time if required at the check in desk)!
Seriously though what to do? its almost cheaper to buy another ticket!
An ironic quote from their website...
'We would like you to be able to practise your sport while you’re away too. That’s why Lufthansa has special excess baggage rates for sports bags.'
Best 55CM Bar and lines off my 07 Waroo.
Fairly well used but in good nick.
Lines are very good / depower rope slightly frayed but lots life in it.
Selling as am moving onto Naish Kites.
£100 inc P&P
