No worries, if your heading down, PM me and I'll give you my mobile number

Hi, Used to live in Oakley until I moved down to North Devon. If ever your down this way five us a shout as also at the same stage as you and there's loads of friendly kiters down my beachwho are only too willing to help out. Phil

Hi, I wasn't one of them but know them all. They looked good didn't they. Most were from the shop Kitemare. Give them a call and speak to Pete who is the shop owner. He will tell you all about it. Phil

Mate you were right..it did all of a sudden and although far from getting a good long ride i was certainly up on most attempts and going a little way. What are your thoughts about the Kites??

I haven't tried either Kite but have been advised by different people to go for either of the above. Clearly though there is a BIG difference in price between them and budget wise i would prefer the Proton. Phil

I'd be looking at both 2011 if possible.

Tobias, It was a great thread and loads of really helpful comments by everyone. It certainly helped me today. Good Luck

Well said i would report back to you all after the many many excellent posts and advice from you all. First couple of hours at Westward Ho! flipping hard work being battered by the waves, trying to remember to fly the kite and at the same time keep hold of that board...lol. But hey after a S--- start, it suddenly came and WOW!!!!!!! i went 20 yards and then 30 and thats about as far as i got but each time i seemed to at least get up and start. Thanks t you all who offered the advice....Just one more question that you can hopefully help me out with. I need to get my kite....North Rebel 12m or Flexifoil Proton 12m. Phil

What is the width of this board

Guys/Girls I know this is the wrong place but i think more people view this than the wanted. Has anyone got a good second hand KiteBoard i can buy. Needs to be around 136x40 as i'm still only at the water start. Any ideas send us a PM with price and photos. Thanks Phil

El-guestos.... Read your piece. Very good mate. Thanks

Oh SOD it.........Instructor just text to say wind no good for this Monday and next lesson will have to be week after. GUTTED!!!!!!!!

Gosh....sounds horrible!!!! lol. Guess i will have to make do with Westward Ho! in North Devon. Sounds like your gonna have a great time.

El-guestsos....sounds good mate will take a look when I get Home. Work is so annoying, it gets in the way of Kiting.

Guys/Girls This has been an awesome thread and chugged to bits I started it now. There has been some really great advice an I'm looking forward to getting back out there this Mon or Tues depending on the weather. Will update you how I get on. But be warned if I get up and going I might be too excited to speak. Lol
