http://www.technologyinmotion.com/flash/knee-bracing/index.htm Have been skiing and playing foootball for the last 10 years with a knacked knee, Have heard these guys are the best . Won't be cheap but will probably be the best way . Also go and see a proper private sports physio. His knowledge and equipment will be light years ahead of the NHS . Also he can look at these and give you a referral or suggest a better course of action. it'll be £50 well spent I use a bioskin one from snow and rock your'e right about wakeboarding - way to go- maybe more fairy liquid next time Rich

Saddo if you ask me- I've virtually given up with it and so have all the original guys as well.

Probably that idoit Lewis cluttering it all up for the rest of us

try Rush Exreme Sports in Porthcawl

I went with Poole Harbour Boardsailing- do weekends big flat bay.,bit closer to London probably a bit easier to get to . Rich:)

I bought the 14m in the sell off last year nice kite - bit slow find it quite like my free air in terms or performance bit more stable , pulls well etc my 14 relaunches ok 16 sb alright with no surprises seems well made hope that helps

that is cool :D

you must have a bloddy good paper round then :D :D

http://www.mickberrillmc.co.uk/product-PROTECTION.html same as dianese but half the price - no trendy stickers I've used it enduro riding and it's good kit Rich

agree I'd go 14m+ have a look on the BKSA website - loads around and quite cheap cheers rich

Agree - get the 14m- I spent the whoile of last summer underpowered with an 8.9 free air. now have taken the plunge and got the 14m flexi and 17m takoon re twin tips I'd get something 2nd hand around the 160 -170cm mark. that way you can always sell it on and don't have to fork out a load on a new board get alesson though

for body armour try Dainese make motorbike stuff and snowboard armour I've got a pair of the armoured shorts for mountain biking and I use them on the mtb as well They're armoured on the hips and bum but not for the handlebar stem moments ( he says in a high voice) v impressed with them and they don't make you cook like some not cheap though but then neither's a broken limb couldn't get the link to work on my PC but it 's http://www.dainese.it

thanks guys I'll have a play with slacker brake lines. re the arms - I'll get the girlfriend to get the tape measure out (I'll get some stick for that) Rich

bit foxed on this one and thought I'd pick your brains first My Viper feels unresponsive and keeps cartwheeling left over right . No matter what I do, I can't seem to stop this happening have measured lines and they are all the same length , no problems with bridle/tangles etc and the handle line lengths are ok. It doesn't do it all the time but once it starts there is no stopping it . I flew my mates blade afterwards with no problems so I think it isn't me I can only think that the bridle or kite fabric has stretched so before I unpick the bridle has anyone come across this before Rich

am impressed - have thought about a Van but I have an old Saab that refuses to die no matter how hard I try fancy a VW but will have to do what you did to yours to get my other half to agree about time somebody produced a decent surf/kite/bike vehicle at a decent price ? keep well Rich
