Off down hastings way over easter so wondering where are good places to fly in that area. Static flying only. Are there any restrictions where you can fly at Camber Sands? Cheers.

Ther must be a lot of dogs meet up there the amount of dog **** around.

Im thinking of having some Kitesurf lessons at Poole harbour Boardsailing when it gets a bit warmer. Any feedback on if it a good school or not would be welcome. Gareth

and dont ride through any narrow gaps. LOL

Scrub bags are great, but they weigh a ton when they're fully loaded.
-
yeah good little kite. Quite fast steerer though. I found that if we used an old piece of stick we found in the field as a bar it reduced the amound they could pull the lines and it was easier for the little ones to fly. Even my 3 year old could keep it in the air for a while.
-
Fair enough mate. Is that for flying only or just boarding and buggying. I drive right past it on the way home from work and keep meaning to stop off. Better get some insurance then.
-
Is BBC insurance mandatory there or are you just saying we should have it?
-
Where from?
-
Is that an original Flexi. LOL

Check this out http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3628606577&category=2920 Where do you get a cheap baseplate and bit that sticks up the mast. Got the windsurfing rig and fancy giving it a try but dont want to spend much money.

No problems here -
Yeah I got that book. My missus bought a load of them in Woolworths last christmas for kids pressies. About a fiver each i think. Nice little book. I hope the kites in the plans fly better than the kite that came with it. Theyre ****e.

Pictures of beautiful naked women flying kites. If you dont have any of those just the naked women will do.

Clear as mud. LOL. Really good info. Migh go out and try it when the wind picks up round here. Adrena1in look after that 6.4 for me.
-
Does anyone know if the Mcgill pad sets are any good. Knee,elbow and wrist for £20-£25. Sound pretty good to me.
-
If you T your brake lines too near the kite it will affect the shape of the kite by pulling the two sides of the kite together. The T will need to be far enough away so this doesnt happen. Any ideas how far this should be. Also people are always saying that flying on a bar makes the kite pull harder, due to there being less resistance from the lines. If you have a bar and brake lines surely this resistance will be the same so there is no real advantage to flying on a bar. Except for flying 1 handed when mtbing.

Thanks Guys, but can somebody explain to me if there is any difference between fitting hard eggshocks or stiffer springs or do you get the same result in the end. Gareth.

Ithink i'll go out and buy a 12 m Frenzy , disconnect the depower and then let the mother in law have a go in 20 mph winds. Best 800 quid i'll ever spend.

I have a Scrub Easyrider that I have used a few times. I,m still not very good but am getting the hang of it slowley. On a couple of runs with and without kite I've been getting waht I think is the start off a speed wobble. I didnt even think I was going that fast. How do I stop this apart from going slower. The board has black egg shocks that came with it. Should I use hard eggshocks or stiffer springs or both. Im 16 stone so im sure that makes a difference to how it handles. Cheers guys. Gareth.

Scrub Easyrider £140 at coastguard Kites.
-
Fitted the eggshocks no problems. Where is the cheapest place to buy stiffer ones and are they specific to the board. Also some places sell stiffer springs. Do these do the same thing?
-
Have just bought a Scrub Easy Rider. I was building it last night and found a pack of what I assume are Black Egg Shocks. I Assume these have to be fitted inside the springs. That is no problem but what exactly are they meant to do. Im a 16 stone lardass so think that I will have to Stiffen up the steering etc. Does the Eggshocks do this and do I need different ones for my weight. Or do I have to fit stiffer springs. Im not looking to be getting massive air or anything but the deck bends like fcuk, a lot more than I expected. Is it likely to be breaking on me or does it take all that abuse.

Scrub Easy Rder £140 inc p+p at coastguaed kites at the mo.

No experiance with mounain boards etc but slicks on my mountain bike make one hell of a difference to knobblies. good luck.
