  1. A different point, but going to Tarifa for just one day in June. Can anyone recommend a school to hire equipment?

    Harnesses

    Looking to upgrade my harness. Have an old mystic warrior and have always had problems with it riding up. What do people recommend?
  3. Thanks. It was quite an expensive suit so will try a repair, probably will need the dental floss as it is the crotch seamed that has gone.
  4. Had a nice session yesterday morning at Rhosneigr (first one in nearly six months due to a new baby). Despite it being half term no-one else was out. Shame I missed the warm winter kitesurfing in November and Decemeber as that first dip under was quite brutal. Additionally, I noticed a rip in the seam in my wetsuit, can this be successfully repaired? Is so, what products do people recommend? Thanks
  5. Melia Gorriones Fuerteventura is quite good (though people will complain about the gusty wind). I have been twice for the simple reason that the wife would not go to Egypt and that you can kite straight from the hotel. With having kids, I might only get the chance to go out for an hour or two a day (if I am lucky twice) so having a spot where you can be on the water kiting 10 minutes after leaving the pool area is great. I have only been in June, wind is gusty be fine (the rescue is good if you have any problems), when the lagoon fills (it is tidal so check it is available when you are there) there is no worry about the off shore wind. The kiting area is interesting given the different stages of the tide and the channels, lagoons that form. The kite centre is fine, but I don't think there are that friendly. The hotel is quiet nice (genuine 4 star), some of the mass produced food is average, but there is lot's show cooking, fresh fish, meats which are very good. Would I go there without young kids, probably not, but I went back the following year because it works well as a kiting family holiday. If you do go, hire a car (very cheap) and don't both with transfers.
  6. Struggling to upload photo's to the forum. If you PM me your number I can text them across, or would be grateful if someone can tell me how to uplaod photo's from an ipad.
  7. Looking for around £145. I can upload some pictures if you want?
  8. Good condition bandit 3 in black. Not had much use, one small professional repair, excellent kite.
  9. Off on holiday this weekend, who is best company for insurance. Thanks
  10. Colin (or anyone else), can you recommend any accommodation in el medano, will need a decent pool for the little one and ideally near to the kite spot so it is easy to escape family life.
  11. Thanks, boots seem to be around £300 from the ones I have seen. Is it possible to get any decent ones for around half that price?
  12. After making an impulse buy on a cheap hadlow wakestyle board, I now need to buy some bindings. Any recommendations of good bindings to use with the board that are not too expensive? Thanks
  13. Don't worry, if you were not new to the forum you would be aware that while Andy is entertaining and a highlight of these pages, he is well known for making mistakes!
