So much for contacting Flexifoil club zero4bc on there new e-mail address, I thought I would do the rite thing and contact them with my details and insurance as discused in previous threads. Not a single reply since this thread started. Flexifoil a bad name. hq and peter lynn forever

I apologise to you all if my thread came over aggressive, it was not intentianal. As a newcomer to the sport I made the initial enquiry so that I abided by the rules. Responses to it, did give the impression that it was a very closed doors affair as to who rides there and who doesent!, and some left you guessing! asking for e-mails and private messages only adds to this. If the locals/pros who are involved in monitoring the area are genuinely happy for other users to use the area, and I do mean the RSPB area, then may I suggest refrain from using the word CLUB+MEMBER open a communal forum where anyone who wants to can be involved, get some signage on the beach?, people only have to then post a thread which you can use as feedback to the third parties. Most importantly an open forum unites peolple and makes them feel apart, something which I think is missing at the moment.

You are implying that peolple must go through a selection process and seek permission from you or the people you are representing to use the beach in question? NOT TRUE... Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can use this part of the beach unnanounced legally without seeking approval from you or anyone else. I would lose the word CLUB + MEMBRSHIP, open a forum to all who wish to use the area and this way you are able to monitor the usage to enable feedback to Parish Council English Nature RSPB Common Right Holders Norfolk Coast Partnership And do what was asked of the original voluntary group SIMPLE... (I only wanted a day there whilst on holiday gona go to Mablethorpe next time)

Opening a can of worms!!!!!!!!!! I am not a law breaker and I abide by the rules, So I made my own investigations into the use of the part of beach in question, with the RSPB and the Coastel warden. The outcome was that there are NO LEGAL implications of the use of any traction sport activities on the RSPB leased area of beach. Several years ago when the RSPB was aware that a growing trend of traction activities was taking part on the beach, Rather than try and ban them, they wanted to monitor it, however due to cost issues, it was decided that an experimental voluntary managment program would be set up to do this. A group of local riders with local interest in the sport. And so was born the elusive club zero4bc to self regulate and monitor, by raising awareness and educating. From historic forum discussions on the subject of the use of brancaster for these activities, I believe that the monitoring side of things has been lost by these people and it has become far to easy to use scare tactics!,- members only, bans in place etc etc. Not addressing the problems that could occur with over use. So Its not a question of me using the beach as a guest, it is open to any enthusiast. That said I would hope that if anyone does want to use this part of the beach that you use it sensibly and respect other useres, I would suggest that as some of you guys are veterans of the sport that you should re-think the issues that have surrounded brancaster and communicate with each other for a common goal. Just out of interest is area for Flexifoil photo shoots?

Now that i,m kinda hooked on buggying, I would like to kit myself out with at least 3 kites of dirrerent meterage for wind conditions. I have flown both of my mates and been ok, but if I was to invest in my own 3 kites i would like them to be all the same. with all you chaps expertise which would be better Blade or Beamer 4 buggying, i know that there is the blurr but i would only be able to afford 1 of these and that I beileive would limit me Thanks

Just about to book my family holiday on norfolk coast so I can undertake in kite buggying, however on some sites there seems to be bans/members only zero4bc (brancaster)? can anyone help or advise Thanks

This thread seems to have been read a lot but no one has cotributed any info that will help me get started.......Anyone? Thanks

Does the sleeving have to be a certain strenth for the line or is it standard strenth? Where do you buy this from? Thanks

If I neede to lenthen my line, would I need to purchase new line, or are there certain knots that you use to join lines, I suppose if you have a cut or broken line are there knots you use to repair them

O, Yer sorry SNOW KITING

I go away every year to ski or blade, ive been kite bugging for a year now whizzing up and down the beaches and am quite good, I pick things up really well when there is a buzzzz to be had, Kite surfing is something I really fancy so I have a few questions for you guys. Where are the best places to go? Do you have to book through a school or can you make your own arrangments and take your own kite/board/blades etc? If you can think of anything that I need to start to book for 2010, please advis Thanks

When buggying is there a better line lenth to use? 20m or 25m or 30m Does the line lenth depend on the kite being used? does line lenth depend on wind strenth? Thanks

Thanks guys for the info, i do like the oakleys crowbars

Had a great day wizzzzzing up and down the sea front used the (Take the kite to the zenith and move it little behind you but not so low that it will pull you out backwards. It will act as a brake).. sugestion.. worked great but im sure all the other crazies are good too.

just bought one of these will give it a go!!!!!!! Thanks for all the info chaps, im out again on wed so will try and put all the info you have given to good use.
