I think you are right, I'm going with the BKSA because they are holding Essex “Kitefest”, June 15th-17th - Freestyle Kitelandboard and Kitebuggying

Does anyone know how to contact BPKA, their email address is bouncing back at the moment? Also, does anyone actually know thee guys? I have been insured through them for several years and have not had any problems, until now trying to get in touch with them. Thanks, PQ

The 6m is the only Rage I've flown. However, I've flown it back to back with my 7m Blurr and 8.5m Blade IV. The Blurr is the slowest so the poorest for light winds. The Blade can only really be bettered by something like a 15m Flysurfer Speed 3 Deluxe (I've only flown the quite frankly awesome Speed 3 back to back with my Blade), but as I don't own one, when it gets really, really light, and the Blade gets hard work constantly looping such a big kite, I've found that the Rage 6m surprisingly slightly better. Obviously I've noticed the wind window getting smaller as the wind gets lighter, but I have to say I have never notice that it feels smaller flying my 6m Rage compared to flying my Blade. You have got me intrigued, the next opportunity I'll make a comparison.

Maybe! I know the 6m Rage doesn't get a lot of love round here. Perhaps I'm bias because it was the first kite that got me going on a buggy but I suspect that the issue is more likely that people come to it from Blades not realising how 'de-tuned' it is. Who knows! I found this old thread, seems like this isn't the first time I've felt compelled to stick up for the 6m Rage! PQ

I disagree with both of these comments! My 6m Rage was the first kite (along with a 3.5m Blurr) that I buggied with and I still find it to be about the most versatile kite I've got. It is a great low wind kite and with its low aspect ratio and light weight construction can still keep me going even when my 8.5m Blade IV (my favourite and most used kite) becomes too hard work. I am comfortable with it up to about 15mph with my three year old sat on my lap. Beyond that I admit these days it doesn't get much use as I'd rather be using my Blade IVs or Blade Vs, but every now and then it is a blast. I leave it just on handles so if I or someone else needs a kite without a strop it is the kite to grab. I also find it perfect just as it is and have never thought it needed a AAA adjuster. Blades, and even more so Blurrs, have a higher aspect ratio, are more finely tuned and are less versatile as they are, therefore the AAA bridal is useful. But in my opinion if you are wanting to adjust the angle of attack of you 6m Rage you should probably be flying a different kite.

That's good to know! I think you would have to work hard to give yourself a serious injury on it so I wouldn't worry about that side of things...

I use a loop of spectra too, I also like that I can make the anchor point right against the down tube with it.

It's all looking poo this morning!

This weekend Sunday is looking the best at the moment?

It's not exactly the question you asked but there are some good ideas on this thread: http://forum.kitecrowd.com/buggying/toe-straps-peter-lynn-buggy-162188.html

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but does anyone know where I could get, or get made, an tandem attachment for my two buggies? I like the look of the ones that Coolboarder and Breezer has in their posts above. Many thanks, PQ

8.5m Blade IV

Sadly I'm not arround this weekend, I'm in York...

Great stuff Floyd, lets hope for a great summer, after such as s*** winter! PQ

From Ipswich you could make it down to Essex Kite Park, there is almost always someone there at the weekend if either there is wind. Here is the thread we use. You would be very welcome
