folber

got mine for £200, after a bit of looking. mint condidtion, only ever been flown a handfull of times. i weigh bout the same and for summer winds its perfect!! havent looked down since

well at last people are talking about it!! that was my aim! but stil come on the -verep thing is stupid!! if you have something to sa then go ahead and say it dont be so pathetic and hide!!!

lol i got one that jus said "dont go there boys" lol it sounds like the kite maffia heehee

lol i guess its a shame all iget is -ve points without names!!! if you have something to say in private then dont hide you sad little people!!!

thats a fair comment. ther's lots of safty problems with teathering like: *the rope snaping causing you to float off or the kite to luff and you to fall *the kite ripping of the lines snaping which will cause you to get catapulted into the ground. * the people or object you are teatherd to are also in danger as they can be easily lifted up and carried along *as you are floating it is very easy to end up upsidedown, this can cause lots of problems such as landing on your head and breaking bones, dissorientation which can endanger everyone. *gusts can cause a big problem too as you are floating you can get pulled to a great hight and then dropped. there i think that probably covers most of them. say if you think theres others

and to the person who said dont go there. then its gunna be talked about!

well the aim of this thred was not to start a spate of -rep point the aim was to educate and give people the information so they dont go out and hurt themselves

yeh i know its a touchy subject but it needs to be talked about everyonce in a while so people dont just go out and try it without knowing the risks!! then they have the ability to make an informed decision.

yes i know its frowned upon but hey, just wondering who has tried it and what they used? i tried it once. i was a realy strange feeling watching the ground float by and no i wasnt teathered to anythin solid i used people about 6 of them and only messup once when some how as i was floating left my body endedup sideways but luckely i landed softly. as it went on though the rope atached to the back of my harnes pulled apart the ring i was useing which was interesting as i ended up floating along the field but all ended well. i dont recomend tryin teathering as its danger's can be a big problem but let me know how ure experiences went!!

i have to say blade11 7.8. jus the right mix of speed and float easily 15ft+ high in anthing above 15mph winds.

i have to say i usualy never wear a helmet when kiteboarding unless im doing crazy stuff, i know i should and i have had many incedidents when a helmet has infact saved my life, and so yes from reading this thred i will now be wearing a helmet!! thanks all!!

thanks for the help i will give both a go and see what happens!!

first of all sorry for not being around for ages i have been far to busy with work . anyway... recently i tried my 7.8 on somones storm bar on 2 lines, i realy liked the conisitant power a ease of flying. however as it was on 2 lines i noticed 2 things! one that the turnin circle was huge i had trouble makeing it loop from the top of the window, i presume this could be sorted out with a crossover kit?? as i like the idea of a 2 line bar. my other problem was that if i was flying in a higher wind day e.g. 15-20mph i would have no safty or ability to kill the kite!! is there some sort of leash i could connect to part of the crossover kit?? any help would be greatly appretiated!! and sorry for the bad spelling

when the winds pick up and your out with a big kite you just gotta be carefull and fly with somone to help if u get stuck. also it depens what you are wearing on your feet!! walking boots help you in higher winds with grip and harnesses can help to. er or... um OH try not throwing the kite around as much and more drifting it unless you jumping

so what bar is that would it work with my 7.8
