I think im gonna get some sort of ice screw or metal T shaped anchor thing. Taking my skis off would be the last thing I would want to do because you just sink in the pow, skis are sharp too and your immobilising yourself if the kite blew away... is anyone out there in BC?

Thank you so much for all the information! Im definitely swaying towards nz or oz... probably wanaka eh I just want to be a snowkite bum for the southern hemisphere season. Theres some criteria... Ive got no intention to buy any lift tickets or work, just want somewhere cheap to live where I can snowkite a lot nearby and ski tour, where people pick up hitchikers and theres accessible snowkite terrain from a road. Does this place exist? Is it Wanaka? My Spanish is **** so S. America is probably off the cards this year. More suggestions/any hookups are very welcome! Duncan

Where is the best place for snowkiting in the Southern Hemisphere? Ideally where there is a town nearby and rent is pretty cheap. Was thinking somewhere in NZ maybe? Plan is to go out August -> October sort of time If anyones interested in joining me give me a shout

Reading this has got me so excited! I got my new manta 2 out the other day to set it up and have a little fly in a school field here in Rossland. The wind sucked but she flew nice- just need to find a local spot to rip! Gonna hitch to a lake soon, which from what I hear should be a good location but how do you know when theyre frozen enough to kite on? I guess I should just ask locals... Im just worried im not going to be able to control my urge to get my skis on and just go for it, and im going to end up falling through the ice, or get eaten by some form of huge canadian wildlife. I want to go snowkiting! Now! Aaaaagh!

hahahahaha this is a funny thread Yeah man, have fun with that buggy, i might have to buy it back off you one day tho. I did that with gorilla actually haha. That was an awesome weekend in Wales too. Bet you cant get away with that **** at pendine now eh let it snow

Pick up only. All the kites, 4 linesets, a strop and handles. £120 Any takers? Email me

Hi everyone, unfortunately I am leaving tommorow and have not managed to sell the c quads or any linesets (it didnt help that one forum member ****** me about for over a week). If you want them for collection at mine near Leeds, make me an offer and I can arrange for someone to be in for you to pick them up. If your interested- EMAIL ME (dont pm me) duncan.browning@gmail.com All the details of the c quads and lines are on here, if you must see pics I can send via email. Thanks, dunc

Flexi handles, linesets are high quality, one is an ozone lineset. Think the breaking strain is 180/110kg the others are of a similar strength. if anyone wants pics email me cheers

Anyone snow kite in BC? Whats the snow kite scene like? Moving there this winter and would love to try it/find out about whereabouts to go. Living in the Rossland area. Have done loads of buggying in the past, a bit of kitesurfing and landboarding, and am a ski instructor/patroller.

OK got the c quads out tonight, the bridle on the 3.2 has snapped but im sure wouldnt be hard to repair- you could probably tie it together again. The 2.2 has one little tear in it and one tiny tear thats been repaired. The 4.2 and 6.3 look great If anyone wants photos EMAIL ME. duncan.browning@gmail.com

Are the pics working or not? I dunno what to do about them. Im going to Wales till Wednesday night, and dont know if ill have computer access there. If your really interested in anything and want pics email me- duncan.browning@gmail.com I need to get the c quads out sometime and have a good look at them and take pics, there may be one thats not in perfect condition, ill find out. Have a good weekend! dunc

http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.6068c4564b.jpg ok took some pics, ill just test this

Thanks for all the interest guys, I'll get some pics when i get home tonight after work... and get back to everyone thats pm'ed me.

I've had a great time with all this kit over the years, but have made a decision to move to Canada to work and ski. I'd be open to swapping stuff for snowkiting gear as well, as thats something I NEED to get into! I'll get some pics soon. Libre VMAX buggy Speedo, Fat knobbly tires on the back- keeps a real good grip for charging down the beach when your powered up, great on grass as well. Bought new wheel bearings for it last year. Ill chuck in the big wrench I have for the wheelnuts as well- far better than using an adjustable spanner. Lines- 2 sets Couple sets of handles Big metal stake Dakine Speed Seat Harness C-Quads in 2.2, 3.2, 4.2, 6.3 Im a firm believer in these kites- when flown right they'll easily keep up with the best of them and their upwind ability in a buggy is phenominal. Gin Yoz 4.8 - may or may not be for sale... NPW9 5.3 Make me some offers... I'm based in West Yorkshire, you can come and check out the gear anytime, just give me a shout. Also selling non kite related- Peugeot 306 with a roof rack- great for hauling gear about Another 306- spares or repair Onza trials unicycle

Havent posted on here for ages! Was just wondering, what decent beaches are available in the North West (West of Leeds) for buggying and a bit of kitesurfing. We were gonna go to Redcar this weekend but havent done enough kitesurfing and are not stupid enough to go out in an offshore wind. Cheers, bob

Great stuff- i might see you there next year then! Just have to find somewhere to keep the buggy while im in halls then ill be sorted.

I was at an open day yesterday for the uni. Looked great. Just wondering if you have or if there are potentially going to be any bans or restrictions for buggying on the beach? Thanks

I think I have a nice plan sorted out... Gap year as ski instructor in Canada Then one of these which Ive applied to: St Andrews Newcastle Swansea Cardiff Aberdeen Exeter Cheers for all the help
