Hey Carl - long time no see. How are you all/Ainsdale these days..?? Andy.

Thank-you thank-you.......at last a nice Ainsdale thread. Hope you foot gets better Graham, I did a similar thing last year and took a big fall and couldn't walk for about 2 months...!!!! Hoping to get down to Ainsdale soon as i sort of miss the place..

Just found this thread looking lost on page 3......!!!!!! Were you all attached to that 14.4m Blade stack.... :eek: Hope everybody is well.

Thanks to this guy (several guy's) a load of my friends now know what I'm going on about and want me to take them out to try it..... :D ....great publicity....my mum however is now more worried...bless..

I've just got a Dakine XT with hammer head bar and pad from Airbossworld...fantastic harness and sooooo comfy. Well worth the money...but as always you get what you pay for...

Kitefreek - is current maths teaching so poor you don't know fractions...or how to spell or type for that matter.... ...the youth of today are tommorrows doctors, how scary is that...??? LOL...

I had this conversation with Gary from http://www.airbossworld.co.uk last week. Projected sizes are in the main PL catalogue which only shops seem to get...the one that stood out was the 15m Guerilla 2 has a projected area of 10m as he commented that it was exactly 2/3's. Give Gary a call if you need more info.....tell him to get some black Dakine XT's in while your at it too...!!!!!

Sky-Blu.....how do you rate the 7.3m Frenzy04...?? Keep getting told to go for the 9.5 but I'm sure the 7.3 has plenty of power..!! Any advice gratefull recieved. Cheers...

Have a look at my thread from last week about harnesses..(bottom of page 3 now)..I'm finally getting a Dakine XP seat harness. Loads of info in the thread. Don't know how to attach a link - sorry..!!

Spooky - thank you very much for the time you have put in to your reply....!!!! Very useful and informative.....I think it covers everything... Nothing else to say. Cheers.

BonzaOzzy - Are you going to get one then...?? Fire Exit - I use mine all the time so definately doesn't get used any less, if you have one you use it, but like I said originally it isn't a must have bit of kit, just another toy....

Mattupper - I'll have a look.... Sonicseal - The Dark Rider looks the dogs cahoona's too and seems to come with the spreader bar (hook) and spreader protector so although it costs a bit more you are getting more with it. Is the spreader bar changeable..?? For example if a roller bar worked better can one be put on..?? I take it you find it very comfortable....and the small seat stops it giving you 'man boobs' but is still very secure..?? Steve - will be heading down to Airboss next week...the chance to try them all on is just too irresistable...thanks for the link. Cheers again.

Just boards...sometimes get to 'borrow' mates buggies though. As for kites see bag below. Steve - thanks loads...very useful info...

Cheers guys - this is really useful....seat it is then. OK one more question - any thoughts on either the 'Hook' type or 'Roller' type spreader..??

I got one purely because I like gadgets....Kestrel 2000...expensive but who cares. It certainly isn't a "must have" but it is quite handy and you can get much cheaper ones. Funny when people say 'it's blowing at least 25-30MPH' then you get out a windmeter to find it is actually only 14-15MPH. Practice with your kites and getting used to them is a far better way of learning. If you have spare money and like toys then get one, but if it is a choice between a new kite and a windmeter then get the kite...!!!
