    Was up at ainsdale on Sat the 16th and witnessed somone have a Prang while learning! wind was up there at 25-29MPH. Just wonder if anyone know who it was and what happened and how He/She is doing, hear they Broke a leg? Just goes to show, when it goes wrong it goes wrong PROPER! Good to be back at the beach and have a session on the thursday though! Beach was closed and wind was low but managed a quick 2 hour blast about. Did also see on the thursday a couple out there, rather sketchy watching them launch! if you know who you are , Stay safe!

    wouldnt 500kg lines be quite thick? i have some 340KG lines and some 460KG (advertised strength) the 340KG lines look exactly the same thickness as the ones i want to replace, the 460 ones are quite abit thicker than them. this is going to affect kite preformance i expect. im no PRO so i dont jump often and when i do its not high lol so i wouldnt say i Stress the lines a whole bunch Thanks for the Reply.

    So, i have pulled a old old Cabrinha switchblade 9M out the bag and the kite is fine but the lines are a little .. worn i would say, i would rather replace them that regret it! Question is! ... i cant find anywhere with a good guide on what strength line to use, i do have a set of lines new laying about but i cant for the life of me remeber what strength they are. Does anyone have a guide to line strength to use and even some links on where they buy line from. THANKS!

    ok well argument maybe a stronger word for it.. Debate then, I use a board leash whenever i kitesurf and im always being told to take it off "its going to kill me" im not great at surfing yet so often i wipe out a little into a wave or anything, the leash has Never caused me a problem and always saves me time bodydragging out to my board again, i can MAYBE understand if you start jumping or some low level tricks but at my level i think its a must have! i get a little scared of storys of people smashing there face or getting hit by a Fin in the head as the board springs back at them BUT this sounds like a little over the top to me

    Whoops! altho even a rookie like me see's silly things like this at my local area once in a while! happens all over! (im new to the sport and already sick of the board leash argument! so wont mention that) haha rant over =) , stay safe!
