  1. Good to hear your geeting the hang of it on your 4m. If you want my advice, stay out on your PKD as much as possible. Gain some valubale skills and when you are confident on the board go and get a Depower kite. Something like an Ozone Access 10m. This should get you moving in about 10+ mph on short grass. Hope that helps.
  2. Dunno about protection, but it looks pretty sweet
  3. Some sweet footwork :)
  4. Your gonna just love flying that beast!!! Have you inflated it with a fan??
  5. personally i dont like too much grip on the sole. just so i can slide easy on the launch and not dig in or run forward. so a cheap pair of skater shoes is what i use.
  6. De-power foils = quick and easy to set up / pack down
  7. They was a feild near Sherington £5 per day. Not sure if its still in use. Or pop down and say hello to us lot at Stopsley Flyers club.

    Sweeeeeeeet. :)
  12. My first kite for landboarding was a 4m Hq Beamer, second hand from a guy in Cambridge. (Ebay bargain) Didnt mind crashing into the ground a few times coz it was only cheap As soon as i got the hang of the basics i moved up to a new 6.5 blade V.
  13. i learnt depower on my 11m 2012 frenzy. imo its not too much of a beast in sensible wind, with light bar pressure and quick to turn. some of my mates fly 11m 2009 frenzy which is a more powerful kite but slower and heavier.
  14. EKS Wallop relocated kite festival this coming weekend should have Flysurfer kites for demo. Wallop Relocated Kite Festival September 2012 You will fall in love with a speed3, i did!!
  15. Cheers Mick I am a member of the stopsley flyers. And it is a great place to fly when its not waterlogged Just intended going Hitchin direction as its kinda easy for me, my parents live out that way.
  16. does any1 know if this is useable?? Letchworth Garden City - Google Maps
  17. I think DirtEater is from hitchin. I was reading his post in "meets" will find out when he replys Im not too far away, only in bedford. If we can find somewhere do-able and it dries up a bit i was gonna suggest a meet up.

  19. Hello mate. Where do ya fly in Hitchin?? Do you ever go out henlow or shefford direction??
  20. Hi guys. Its this weekend 14 and 15 July Im going with the Stopsley flyers, were doing 2 short demo's on both days with landboards and buggys. Recreational flying is permitted, but no traction is allowed outside the arena Look forward to seeing you guys there.
  21. @ twchambers Hi mate, ive been going through the exact same problem as you when learning to jump. I too have been landing at 90deg and it hurts. Try this - hope it helps, good luck dude.
  22. Hello lee You need to head up to Royston heath. I think there are guys that fly up there near the golf club. Just do some research and youll soon find a group of friendly flyers.
  23. My trampa bearings soon fell apart so i got my set from AK bearings. Top quality smooth, fast and quiet. Good price and good service. Would recommend.
  24. Nice headband
  25. I had my first fly on a speed 3 15m yesterday. Wow what an awesome kite, didnt want to give it back. Found it to be increadbly stable and float was unreal. Are they a well behaved kite or was i just lucky to be in clean wind?
