Hello all. As a Brighton resident I have often wondered why there are no kitesurfers here. I assumed it was banned in the area but after a recent call to the waterfront agency I was told no ban was in place, and that I was free to kitesurf either side of the two piers.
It can obviously be rammed in summer making it completely unsuitable, but often during the colder months the beach is deserted. I know there was once a kitesurfing school opposite Hove lagoon. I am particularly interested in trying the area between the marina and the palace pier (the one currently in use).
Does anyone have any experience kitesurfing in these areas? Have I missed something that would make this a terrible idea?
Thank you all!
Hi everyone, rookie question coming up but you'll have to forgive me, I haven't flown a kite in years! I have a 2008 slingshot FUEL lying about from 2008. Can it be flown with 4 lines? If so, how? Do you need a bridle or similar?
I have looked online but there doesn't seem to be any info, probably because its so old.
Thank you!
Bought a while ago but rarely used, as a result still in good condition. One leading edge repair (see photos) which included a new bladder. That was over a year ago and everything has been working perfectly since, no leaks in the bladder.
The bag is included however the zip at the bottom is broken. The bag still works fine so no need to buy a new one.
I included some pics and a kite world review that should tell you everything you need to know but if you want more please PM me.
