With a combination of pretty inconsistent weather and various lockdowns over the past year or more, it had been a while since I had the opportunity to get out and have a kite. I had already taken Friday off work and headed down to Sandy Point given the promising forecast and my window of opportunity. It was so great to blow out the cobwebs and get back to one of my most favourite places to be.

Had a great solo run today at Sandy Point. Consistent on-shore all day 15-20 knots at the start and then backed off towards the end of the session. Cloudy day, but the sun made several appearances which made it even more enjoyable. Should have enough footage to throw a cheeky edit together over the weekend.

So, who's thinking about heading down to Sandy Point this long weekend? Given the current forecast, i'm heading down on Friday for low tide and stay for the day. Then I will consider going back on Monday if the forecast holds. Sat and Sun doesn't look promising with offshore winds currently predicted.

Nice presents there mate. We will await your reviews 😁

Welcome back @IainB.. We haven't had a review of the new model yet, once you get yours please feel free to post one and we can feature the review.

@AndrewKitesWelcome to Extreme Kites!

I could picture you in one of these @.Joel even with the tinted visor at night ahah

Found this when moving house in amongst my kite stuff. If anyone is interested let me know. @andy666 ??

Haha, yes there is a gallery dedicated to the boards out of this thread. Now, we want a video please 😃

Thanks for sharing @Pari looking absolutely superb mate! Great job. Have added these pics to the pimped board gallery too 😃

Hi mate, I've only flown a 7m Pulse and it was heaps good fun. Stable, heaps of power, good lift and felt super safe overall. If it's in good condition I think you will have a ball mate. It really just did what it was told and delivered well.

Hi @timG Sorry to hear you've snapped your board, mate. Trampa decks have a good reputation for kite landboarding and maybe the only option still available for you in the UK, as most of the other manufacturers are now not producing carbon decks anymore. For maximum pop, you'd want a flexible deck - but the great thing about Trampa is that they can customise a deck based on your weight and preferences. This will ensure that you will get enough pop, without snapping the deck - obviously all based on your weight. Shoot them an email with your preferences and your weight and they will come ba

Looks like that's the exact day we will be moving house, given the current schedule at this stage. Although I'm frothing for a session, will have to play it by ear.
