"42. No person shall fly any kite in such a manner as to cause danger or give reasonable grounds for annoyance to any other person." Aren't we missing the point here, it does not say you can't fly - just states "in such a manner as to cause danger etc". Don't they have to prove you are causing a 'danger' or 'reasonable annoyance' (what the hell is a reasonable annoyance?) before they can kick you off or ban you completely? So if you are flying responsibly (e.g. not flying your kite into flats and people) the byelaw they have added is useless as it does not ban the use of kites just kites that are causing a danger etc (which they would have to prove). Just a thought

Work - 2hrs 42 mins... Creamfields - far too many hrs away

bump for the blade.

Blade IV 6.5 (Midnight). Mint condition no rips etc etc. RTF. Extreme lines. Flexi bag Open to very sensible offers plus P&P. FYI: I already have an offer on this kite and intend to sell in one week. I'm away with work and should be able to gain access to forum over the week if any questions arise. I will also try and get some pics up over the wkend. The kite of course needs no intro and I am gutted to see this go but must fund travel funds for NZ. PM's welcome. Kush

I recently got sent an email, thought I'd share in case you've not seen it: - - More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves me. - Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realise you're wrong. - I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they've invented the lighter? - - Have you ever been walking down the street and realised that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the pavement. - I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. - Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know" feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose not to be friends with? - Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft. - There is a great need for sarcasm font. - Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realise I had no idea what the f*** was going on when I first saw it. - I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the only one who really, really gets it. - How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet? - I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in. - I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. - LOL has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to say". - I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger. - Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart". - How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear what they said? - I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers! - Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in' examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies". - What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other? - Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. - I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the shower first and THEN turn on the water. - I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired. - Bad decisions make good stories. - Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their profile is public, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning that just got the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if I do! - Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be a problem … - You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything productive for the rest of the day. TODAY - Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't want to have to restart my collection. - There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far. - I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I swear I did not make any changes to. - "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this ever. - I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?' - I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone and run away? - I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste. - When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light internet stalking. - I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes. - As a driver I hate pedestrians and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists. - Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. - I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call. - Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time... MMMEMEMEMEEEEEEE - My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that? - I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they drive behind obeys the speed limit. - I think the freezer deserves a light as well. - The other night I ordered take away and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic cutlery. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food. Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner.

Check out the Northwest area. Or you after specific inland spots?

I'm hoping it will be cheaper flights ! ?

Parksy - I know dude but it does say shop rider in his profile. Can't believe no-one has bought this yet. bumpety bump

I've had a response from Butch. Sounds like NZ is bloody amazing! It would be class if UK was like NZ, no TP liab insurance required, no permits - what joy.

Cheers dudes have sent an email nd looking at the website. I'm getting exited now (I just need to rent house and get a ticket ! oh and quit job - sweeeet )

Great Vid ! Thought I'd pop a post on this thread as it's about NZ. I'm heading over there middle of the year and wondered if anyone could offer some advice about travelling over there with kite. Where's the best beaches (just for static) ? I've got no plans yet (only recently got my visa) so hoping to get some advice on where to head to ? any suggestions would be appreciated !

What the hell you lot on about ! ? !

Dude, It's in good nick, got some good gear on it - I now know why you want £300. I reckon that's a steal. I'd buy it if I didnt have one already ! BUMP for the d-ex !
