whats he got boots on for thought it would be warm enough for bare foot

anyone heard any news on any new c kites for 2008 or is it just atom 2 and ion 3 will there be a fusion 3 ?

i ride for www.stormriders.biz we all went out there 12 of us with planet to el gouna 2 years ago 1 of the 1st crews to stay at movenpick i believe amazing trip if you want any info on el gouna give me a shout where are you staying ? email me if needed djmoonie@msn.com but beware of movenpick if your not experianced as reef shallow and sometimes visible at low tide we all good kiters and few got bit by reef inner lagoon is fine but shallow at low and there is a gap to deeper water in the reef but not to big so you need to be competent upwinder to get in

ok lets try and cure this for you ! if your cool with me trying to help and give advice that is i went through a stage of doing this a while back so will help if i can and so lets get this right in my head so i can picture prob these questions may seem silly but need a idea of why/what going on ok is this a recent thing (the kiteloop) have you had rotaions/spins ok at some point and now this has started or just from 1st trying you loop kite unintentionaly ? reason for question i had back loops and rotations fine for ages then as new tricks came into play where you need diff kite possition or more agressive move thats when i started accidently looping as i was pulling on bar without thinking when going back to loops also what spin are you going for ? (back/front/ single multiple?) if you want email djmoonie@msn.com or add me to messenger save doing it on here explain how you approach move so i can picture it

what do you mean by that are you looping on purpose ? or are you trying rotations and looping kite by accident if so i got few pointers for you if its just sarcasm that ive mis taken ignore comment

right this is not a dig but a serious post the beach that clip is filmed on unless im very wrong (in wich case i will say sorry) was fistral? now if my 1st guess was right ? when the wind reading was being shown the person holding meter was facing the land ? ( when u read wind with meter you face wind so body doesnt obstruct wind ????as in wind hits rear of wind gage you read front) in this case wind off shore??? finally now you hate me i have surfed fistral since i was 9 years old at different times when in cornwall and fistral worked last few years thought about kiteing it in the surf when are you allowed to kite fistral is it anytime out of season ? summer no chance obviosley is it no lifeguards kite ok? cheers daz

12m fusion quick review took mine on water for 1st time today wind around 30mph it was amazing in the bigger gusts u just pull in the 5th line lock it off and carry on it stonks up wind and the hangtime is wicked really floaty and for the 1st time i was landing kiteloops my mate said at one point when the wind picked up as he went in on a 10 maxxed he looked and my fusion looked like it was a bow kite the 5th line was so tight but:eek: i stayed out then as it backed off let it back out. safty system got a testing when my harness broke and the 5 th line relaunch works well i was in waves and it didnt roll when the wave hit it ! i found if it was on water and a wave came if you tugged hard on 5th line kite left water on 5th line and floated over wave then use plastic tube to feed it back through and away you go also multiple rotations are sweet as the 5th line gadget lets it all spin independantly so no tangles well done flexi super imressed cant wait to get it in wind not as nuts and really put it through its pacess took it easy today as was lit but still amazed me even with the 5th line that tight it performed fine i love it http://212.67.202.47/~tonyshep/newforum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif http://212.67.202.47/~tonyshep/newforum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif http://212.67.202.47/~tonyshep/newforum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
