  9. i have a 12m 08 and i would rather give you a kidney! very biased. they are the best!. get one now you wont regret it, but as they said start off in light winds and work your way up , i brought the 12 because i would get more use out of it for more of the time whilst learning anyway.now it's my everyday kite but i get scared when she blows more than 25mph.some days i get brave but not for long.
  10. Let me know if you want to sell them.cash waiting!

  13. sorry though i was doing something else? revo gone nooooo there the nicest looking by far i've just bent my standard ones was looking for new trucks soon. from what i can make out the best thing is to buy cheap , bend often, buy again?
  14. Check them out >>HERE they look like a schoolboy made them from spare parts . light and expensive? not my cup of tea.. does anybody have the number or web page for revo i found one page but when i sent an email,got reply but heard nothing since ?
  15. hope the winds good this saturday anyone coming down for a fly. thats if mother nature plays her part. had a good session today, got some nice jumps in still can't grad the handle and remove my feet well i can just cant get my feet back in before i land. see you saturday if your around.
  16. i ordered some canopy lines for my 6.4 blade mark 2 from flexifoil if you email. this lady she will send you a pdf file with a layout of the bridal set up then you can organise delivery.i think they were about £3.50 each and they came from belguim. (Jeanne@flexifoil.com) hope this helps
  17. i took it out today 4 a hour or so, ate the dirt about 4 times i't going to take a bit of getting used to so quick through the air , i've flown a blade 2 3m and i thought that was quick but the 8m was just as quick. it had good pull a loads of lift. i think they moved the vents in the front down a little so they point well, down rather than forward.there also seems to be more bridles on the bottom of the kite making it turn quicker can't be 100% on the last bit the wind kept blowing the kite away but i think the kite will come to life in about 25 to 35 mph.cant wait to try it without the gusts. just like to say well done thanks for getting it right,because i thought the 09 wasn't as good as the 08.
  18. Got the 8m ,goes with my 12m 08 should give me better wind range for higher winds.can't wait.
  19. My new manta has arrived can't wait to fly it but wheres the bloody wind,if any body has flown there new kite let me know what ya think.

  22. a friend of mine owns a clothing label and has asked me if he could attach the clothing label logos and names to my kite .good advertising i think. i was wondering if it could be done and how i would go about it. ie vinyl print,spray etc. any help would be great.
  23. you pay doug or his son, they come down during the day lovely bloke. great place to kite 100acres flat grass land heaven trust me. see you down there soon.
  24. dose it matter where the foot straps go when designing a new layout of a board.i was thinking it should be where you feet feel comfortable but i will be going from a flex deck to a trampa board. also is there a amount of board that should remain intacked ie how much can i chop off.
  25. anybody going down this weekend. havn't seen alot of people for a while would be good to catch up. thinking mainly sunday i might be aloud out both.
