  1. Im thinking of heading out in march. Emerites flights are relatively cheap and so long as your baggage is less than 23kg and no more than 300cm total dimensions (length plus width plus height) it goes free. TMW
  2. I use these https://www.northshoreinc.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=118&idcategory=107 I'm a size 10 and they adjust for no boots to my 7mm boots. Only issue is the ratchet can jam up so they need a bit of grease on the adjuster every so often. TMW
  3. Nope never. If theres a windy day I leave work two hours early and go kiting. It's very rare that my work means I can't go. TMW
  4. You should try several different ones in that price range and go for the one that fits you best. No point in buying a great top of the range suit with battery powered heater packs if It don't fit right. TMW
  5. There is an exclusion in that they are not covered when competing in a competition but yeah accidental loss. TMW
  6. I am covered with LV. Had to ditch one of my kites at sea last year and swim in. Kite was lost. I was able to claim it on my insurance and have received payment. I still needed to report the kite as lost to the police to get a crime number but that I had already done as well as the coast guard. Initially they said they couldn't cover it, but after a review they got back to me and said that they would. £100 excess to pay but as it was my big flysurfer I got a payout of £2100. Note items over £1500 need to be named items. TMW
  7. This one? Before you do read the review. https://www.techinasia.com/xiaomi-yicamera-review-gopro/ TMW
  8. For example, same camera, same film. TMW
  9. Yes you can do all kinds of shit if you so desire. TMW
  10. If you want the donkeys gonads and are prepared to pay the bucks then buy a go pro as it has better video record options, especially for slow mo. If you just want a half decent cheap waterproof equivalent that records nice video in 1080p 30fps that comes with loads of mounts then go for the sj4000. I don't worry about losing mine or having it nicked as it only cost £55. TMW
  11. Obviously I have a lot of work to do yet to catch up with KSA's videos but I have put a couple of quick edits together with footage from my sj400. Apologies for the music but it was the best I could find at short notice in the youtube audio section. If anyone has better ideas of where to get audio tracks from for youtube uploads that don't infringe copyright laws please let me know. TMW
  12. The more important question is can you surf well enough to be able to surf a surfboard that will be small enough for kiting? TMW
  13. I have tried 3 different sets of fins in my light wind directional. Even a small change in fin size/profile makes a significant difference in its upwind capability. However it trades off when you head downwind as it slows you down and can be less manoeuvrable. TMW
  14. These guys do very comprehensive cover Travel insurance cover | STA Travel | Blue and Gold Travel Insurance TMW
