  3. Hi All! I am just about to move to the kings lynn area, an I am looking for some like minded people to meet up with. Any one know of any clubs or reg meeting places? I am a novice kite boarder, and also do some buggie and land boarding. Cheers! Wayne..

    Wetsuits

    Hi all! If your looking for rash vests for the winter, best to buy a titanium lined vest. They are super worm, and can be used with a pair of board shorts in the summer. Single layer suits are Ok for windsurfing as the water runs of very easily. However single layer rips quiet easily. You would be best going for Double layer construction, just in case of the drag along the beach sindrome, also some knee pading. You can buy suits which are made of both single and double combined. Normaly the single layer is around the Body area. These give the best of both worlds. Good Hunting!

    bullet

    Have to agree with Muttley! Own both kites and much prefer the bullet's when in the buggy. Have been out in some strong winds with the Bullet's and they produce very little up lift. As for stability I dont see how the blade 3 is more stable than the Bullet, the bullet is Rock stable. I dont know about flexi producing a race kite in the future I dont see whats wrong with the Bullet give me a 7m.....
  6. Good luck on the lesson! Fine in the rain as long as it is in a shower, just keep a eye out for storm clouds forming though. If they look kind of stormy call it a day asyou offer a lovely target..
  7. Not many obsticals in the water? nice soft landing? not on the board, just body draging. Nothing to hit the head on? Why wear a helmet? Lets not forget there are other users than you on the water. Ok people can see the great kite in the air or on the water, but with 30 meter lines not everyone will know exactly where you are. SPECIALY IN SURF. Windsurf and surfbord fins can easily plant themselfs in your little bobing head. when other users are coming in on the top of waves and you are down below not forgeting the good old jet bikers... Have seen it done. Wear a Helmet...
  8. I have one like that, I keep twisting the buttons but canot get it to open. I see this is the LEI version. Mine is one of the ram air inflatable type...
  9. I am originaly from the sunny isle, go back all the time to see the family. Ryde beach is mint, loads of lovely sand. Quite hard to, which helps alot. Dont forget to check the local tide times though.I also go to Sea Close Park some times..
  10. Fly in light winds first as they have a totaly different feel to the bullet. They can get some really good lift, just air on the side of coution on the size, as winter winds are coming. would try to meat up with other kiters and try first. The 6.6 is a powerful kite, would go a little smaller. My 4.9 works well in moderate winds, can get scarry in gusty conditions and I am around 14 stone. Respect the power.
  11. Bet you get some good speed of the 3.5, I know my 2.5 pulls like a train in the right winds, nice kite. You should be ok with the Blades, good lift on them. Have you flown one befor?
  12. The Bullet has been designed to use as a buggie engine, and there for gives next to no lift. very hard to jump, if you like to do a lot of jumping while land boarding you need a blade or a kite which has been designed to give lift..
  13. No I was over there between 1100 to 1330 in the afternoon, not sure who that would have been! I normally fly a gray & black blade or a purple & gray bullet.
  14. Hi Mate, Should be good wind at the weekend. Iam of to visit family this weekend, Should get some boarding in. Will be over the race course the weekend after, will pop over and say Hi, if I see ya.
  15. Hi Mate Normaly over the old race cource, or over kettering way. Head over to Hunstanton for the boarding. Where do you fly?
