  1. An old twintip board given to me by a friend, i dont get out on the water much as i like to landboard more, it measures up at around 135x48 i think? Still good for a newcomer or someone that wants a board they dont mind beating up Anyway, its rasta in color has footstraps and maui magic fins. £40 posted? Can get pictures upon request
  2. Bought this kite a few months ago thinking it would be great for landboarding. Doesn't really do the job for me but what an excellent kite anyway. It's got two professional repairs nothing that affects the performance of the kite, as I have just flown it over the weekend and all is fine. Comes in the original bag with bar and lines also in good nick. Offers around £140?
  3. Dude is love that 15m phantom. Gonna see if I can sort some cash out if I can ill let you know
  4. Hi, have you still got this? Might have it if the other half lets me
  5. How much for the 9m posted?
  6. Might have them off ya, will let you know Monday when I get paid
  7. Peter Lynn vipers are good fun, and the larger flexi bullets in high winds are mental. you've pretty much got the best of things when it comes to the blade series though, great all round freestyle kites with plenty of pull lift and float. Oh, and if you can ever get hold of one the old Ozone Haka 5m is nuts!
  8. You want something good to get going in light gusty winds then yes, anything will work down to your preference, how big your wallet is and so on so forth. Depower foils are great, though saying that I've not had brilliant experiences with either flexi sabres or ozone frenzies myself. Lei's arent too bad, ou just have to know the characteristics of the particular kite in question as there are so many of them out there all a bit different to each other Then! There's arcs, you just cannot go wrong with an arc. They eat gusts for breakfast, take em in spit em out without affecting your riding and you always know where you are without having to look at the kite. 15-18m probably best and better if you can find something cheap on here to coincide with your guerilla.
  9. If your bearings get fucked and you can't afford to replace, then soak em in full fat coca cola, or alcohol whichever you can afford to sacrifice, overnight and hopefully the acidic properties will have taken the majority of the gunk and crap away, then just give em a wipe, lube em up and should be good to go. Thats what I did once , gets em clean enough to ride again
  10. Hey dude, I've felt the pain of what your experiencing too as we all do at some point in the early stages. I learnt to get going just by doing some homework, watching videos on youtube, looking at information on all the kite sites I can find and simply putting all that into practical experiments and walla! You get to grips with it eventually. Getting down to the coast for the beaches can be a bit of a pain for me not being a driver, so I fly inland where and when i can, i live between Mold and Holywell and can also throw you a hand if needed. What gear you flying/riding? You on depower of some form or fixed bridle foils? If your kite can handle some gusts, then just take it out in low wind conditions (just enough to get you going). Only need your local football field and see what you can achieve from that taking it step by step (that is, if you can't make it to hook up with Karen here sometime)
  11. Have you checked that its not your mainlines that have stretched?
  12. Dont know his username, but Orosz Sandor bought my Sabre. Swift payment and good comms Top Notch!!
  13. do it how you would a tombola, or any othe raffle with ticket numbers etc... Issue people with a number (e.g. 001, 002, 003,) and so on and keep note of all the tickets issued along with name and contact details alongside, in a notebook or a word file on the computer? When you have enough raffle entries / tickets purchased, put em all in hat and pick em at random, could even do it on live webcam if you have one to make things more exciting and legit for all the punters.
  14. Ion 2 how much?
  15. i wouldnt say its incredibly important at all to stick to the same manufacturer or series of kite, it all depends on how comfortable you are with flying different types or makes/models of kite. I over the years have flown all sorts and have felt comfortable with everything ever flown. All kites have ups n down up to you to find how they suit your needs. Just have a play around with other peoples stuff and see where your decisions stand. As mick says up there somewhere he has kites of the same series in different sizes that feel different and I so experienced that with thr RRD Type 8s I used to have (9m & 15m) they were sometimes unrelatable but a joy to fly in each circumstance.
  16. the sabres are brilliant kites i have the original sabre 9.5m and it does what needs really. good safety. compared to the sabre 2s the original doesnt have 5th line but safety still works effectively the only gripe i have is the crossover bridle. I have flown frenzies and personally did not like them as there is not enough direct feel in the bar for my liking whereas with the sabres you know where you are all the time and can ride without having to look at the kite just like flying an arc. I think arcs would be a better route to go down though. No bridles... simple set up just a little different when it comes to launching and if course with arcs you have whats called auto zenith just means when the kite is not being steered around it automically returns itself to the top of the window where there is practically zero power. Totally your decision though (or you could buy my sabre for just 140 inc post)
