thanks, Could anyone shed some light on the 4 and 5 line kites?

Hey all, ive worked my way up now, and have a range of kites from 2.5m to 6m fixed bridle. im now wanting to progress ont the de power side for buggying, and landboarding, i am quite interested in learning to surf, but not till im used to a de power. So were do i start? what kinda size should i be looking at? should i be getting a foil de power or a water de power? 4 lines and 5 lines whats difference?

Thanks matey, i forgot to mention i got a helmet =) i will deffo try the steps out tomorrow. and see how we go.

I have a board, I have kites, bars, handles and a harness but, how do I go about learning to board, my problem that I forsee is balance on the board, anyone have some ideas/ how to stet, as I really wanna try it

Swansea is a no go because of the weather, so heading to the tried and tested mablethorpe beach, anyone no of a open camp site for tents over the weekend?

What about beaches around swansea? Or would the beach at donnanook down to mablethorpe be better?

I've found it th bpka for 15 quid, what other beaches are good, Ben looking at the towans beach in cornwall

Were do I go for insurance for 15 quid only seen it at 28 quid

That beach looks really good, but put off by the insurance part and having to have a permit, pointless or me as I will only be there a weekend

I got the next weekend off, fancy bugging the whole weekend, were abouts in the uk are good beaches for doing so. Only been to Redcar and mablethorpe, not fussed how far I travel, im in east mids recommend me some beaches people!

Did Say Offers Welcome =)

As my Hobby as progressed ive moved onto bigger kites, so ive come to sell my 2 Flexifoil Stacker 6ft kites. They are Truly Amazing kites, and as the name states they can be stacked on top of each other so you can fly more then 1 kite on one set of line, each extra kite add more pull aswell. Both kites havent been flown more then 10 times. and are in very good condition as pictures show. A good Spec and Write up can be found here (RRP £105) http://www.powerkiteshop.com/kites/f...ilstacker6.htm Here is a quick youtube video i made of my Friend flting his Stackers kites and using a buggy. The First Kite Come complete with Flying Lines and Handles and the Instruction Book. Top side of the kite. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0800.jpg Bottom side of the kite http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0804.jpg 25m Lines and Handles http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0802.jpg Instruction Booklet http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0814.jpg Im After £80 Delivered The Second kite im Selling as a Stacking Kite as It does not come with Flying Lines only Stacking Lines. Top of the kite and bottom of kite both same colour http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0808.jpg Stacking Lines http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0810.jpg On the end of the spar that goes through the kite, it has lost the en cap (small piece of rubber) so i ave put tape on the end to replace it. The end caps can be bought for 10 for Approximatley £5, But as its not really needed i never replaced it. it stops the lines coming off the bar, but once your flying anyways the line cannot come off because of the tention. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t21/Fiesta_Mad/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0809.jpg As i said ealier, This is a stacking kite, the lines are used to attack this green one to the Grey one above (or thats how i used them) it cannot be flown without a set of flying lines or attacked to another stacker. Because this doesnt come with flying lines im after £60 Delivered IF you Buy Both kites ill selll them both for £130 Delivered. IF there is no interest in these kites after a few days they will go on ebay. Offers Welcome

Ok cheers guys for your responses

more comfortable long distance cruise in my buggy, or would a strop be ok?

why are they shit? personal preference? or just dont fly well?

i have just noticed this thread, i live 5 mins away from Ashfield Comp and i allready use it. been great in the 6 weeks holidays. but now kids are going back to school, its going to be awkward

Been looking at the Bars again. Can someone explain the difference between a control bar and de power control bar. as i can see in the pictures, the brake lines connect the bar, does the brake lines pass straight through the bar on the depower bar? im after a bar to team up with my exit kite. i want to be able to spin 360 degree and the kite still be in the air? which type do i need? as handles wont cut it

Thanks guys. i sorted the buggy tyre, it was leaking on the rim, so put a inner tube in it. sorted the kite also, when i reattached the lines after sorting them out, i didnt pull them apart so one was trapped and couldnt pull tight. All sorted now =) Thanks, cant wait for my next run!

I was on mablethorpe beach yesterday. wind was wrong direction, so had to do a walk of shame up the beach, walked for a hour past theddlethorpe (past the tank), by the time i got up there and set up, realised i had a flat tyre.. i was so p****d off. i pumped them up at the car and it was completely flat. so i wasnt walking back, i set up and road off towards the car. must have touched 25-30, it was friking quick, with a flat tyre it wasnt stable either, but i pressed on, 3/4 way down, the kite whipped to one side, i cocked up onto 2 wheels, got back down onto 3 wheels, cocked up the other way so was not running on the front and flat tyre, and the buggy flipped, YUP i had my first OBE, to be honest i loved it, i couldnt stop smiling, i didnt hurt anything so was all good, but the kite crashed and tangled, and i had one makeshift kite killer, so ended up with rope burn lol. walk the rest of the distance, and spent 1 1/2 hours un tangling my kite, went back to the beach still with a flat tyre it wouldnt inflate at all. got the kite up and started off, but i noticed my kite wasnt opening fully, some of the power lines on one side was slack, they was still attached, just slack so wasnt pulling properly. so i gave up and went home. Still had fun. Questions are, can i get spare standard tyres incase its punctured, or has anyone had a similar problem and it wasnt popped? perhaps a leaky valve? next, any suggestioned why one of the lines is slack? Last question, im based in east midlands, 80 miles from mablethorpe, does anyone know of a big open safe area for buggying in the midlands?

Cheers, thats gonna be a big help, looks quite easy too! thanks!

im still learning to tack back to were i started, im gradually getting closer and closer back =) when you say strop, is that the ( string) cable connecting the handles together, that u loop around the harness? And do the harnesses come with the spreader bar? or they seperate, i have seen spreader bars on there own, thats why im wondering. Thanks

I cant complain. Any one have any help towards a harness and a bar?

when you turn about 270 degree to go opersite way, what do the kites do? if you spin your buggy 360 degree, will the lines twist and the kite twist also, or will they kite stay were it was? When you turn you can send the kite to the zenith and turn underneath it. Once you get the idea more power is gained by then sending the kite under itself as you come out of the turn.......sorry for the shit description. As for if the kite twists 360 just loop it back, you'll get a nice power boost too! cheers i get it a little more, been out today on buggy, wind was a little to strong for 4.0m, 23ph winds with gusts of 42mph!! has some crazy fun, doing a few jumps also, but at the end a massive gust come completely took control of me, and the kite went flying with me falling to the ground! didnt hurt like. but was funny to watct again, as my friend had recorded it =) I need to ask about control bars. i want a 4 line bar obviously, but whats best? one were the brake lines are attached to the bar, or one were they pass through and connect to harness. i plan to by both togeter (Harness and Bar)

Thats brilliant, im after making/getting something like that. did it make a big difference? if you was doing a long run? That exit kite is a whole new experiance from my stackers. i never know i could get it to take off upside down. thats really handy, means i havent got to get out my bug, to go flip it over like my stackers. ive read that page in the link above. as i wanna be able to go upwind with my buggy. question is, when tacking, when you turn about 270 degree to go opersite way, what do the kites do? if you spin your buggy 360 degree, will the lines twist and the kite twist also, or will they kite stay were it was?

Thanks for your replys. i have tried buggying with both set ups, the flexifoils are a great set up for just general playing around, but on a buggy as long as i dont crash, i got some decent speed, in a straight line, but couldnt go any other directions really. but certainly put a smile on my face using the buggy for first time, i was on mablethorpe beach and did about 1.5miles straight =) The exit kite ive had ago in and out the buggy and i found it really wasy to control. reverse launch was something i never knew i could do, i did it by accident, but was really happy i could do suck i think, means i didnt have to get out my buggy and flip the kite over like the stackers. was only about 5 mph winds, and i was being tugged along quite quick, (no GPS yet to see the speeds). it moves alot slower in the sky, i can hold it at a angle to get a consent pull, unlike the stackers, its certainly helping my on buggying, becuase i could go alot more directions from the wind direction, unlike i could before. Any more helpful tips? like how to quickly brake/ turn in a buggy? if i spin the buggy 360 degress, what happens the to kite? if its a quick spin, will it just twist the lines? or will it rotate with me?
