If you have time to keep re-directing then it will keep you in the air for longer, just be carful not to send the kite too low or you could hit the ground with speed. I usually find that holding the 're-direct' for as long as possible, ie, before the kite starts heading towards the ground, gives the best hang time. If thats not enough then you probebly want a bigger kite or better conditions. I remember wondering why my 4m blade never gave much hang time, and tbh is never has; small kites lift big and dump hard, if your after float you'll probs want a 6.5 blade. Im still saving up for an 8.5m blade IV so i can experience the floatiest jumps of all...

i love the music

i spose this is slightly off topic but... does cutting the material out from in between the bindings not weaken is significantly? surely the manufactureres wouldnt make them so wide initially for no reason?

what about making makeshift bindings in a sledge? or using sum sort of skimboard? only random ideas...

Got my AS results today, got 5 A's (including general and further maths) and a B, so lucks like i have a good chance of going wherever i want (so long as i can keep it up and resist kiting too much next year!)

Got my AS's aswell today, 5 A's (including general and futher maths) and a B

cheers for the help guys, its good to know that hopefully which ever uni ill end up at it is likly to have flyers in the area. im currently looking to do engineering, and although im from newcastle area, i want to go down south for uni. Im currently interested in bath, bristol and warrick and am looking at others.

Hey guys, just got back onto the kite forums after a canny break. Anyhows, this year im applying to uni, and as a keen kiter i would like to go to a place near enough to decent kite spots with a decent kite community. Does anyone have any suggestions, or is part of any uni clubs and would reccomend where they are? much appreciated Sam
