Jon is spot on with his comments as I have the 4.5 03 version and fly on the same site as Jon with his 4.5 05 and his does handle better....

Is there any info on what the Frenzy 06 will bring in respect to advancements over the 05 ?

When reading reviews & experience reports they balance out as two both brilliant kits. And the main factor is going to be brand & price The cheapest online price I have seen for a Frenzy 05 10M is £595 The cheapest online price for a Sabre 9.5m is £499 ~£100 is a lot of cash (especially in this current economic climate) So unless the price of the Frenzy comes down my choice will be the Sabre regardless of the pros & cons of different peoples views.

Pegas kites are based in Abergavenny - give them a shout to where they fly & test their kites. europe@pegaskites.com

Is there a designated area on the beach for kiting? I did notice last time I was down there (just after the margam park festival) the area furthest away from the factory works was quiet..... For Info : Rest Bay near Porthcawl has now got a marked off area on the beach by the Golf coarse for kiting – but watch out for dogs….But if you do see a dog of a lead tell the owner that there is a sign stating that dogs must remain on a lead in this area – If they are arsy about it – Just go and see the lifeguards in the office they will sort it out (as they did for me a few weeks back). But one thing don't go beyond the red marker otherwise we may get banded....

thanks for the advise about the board... I also heard that kite surfing is banned - but no one can confirm if this ban also applies to land based kiting ? Perhaps I'll find out in 5 weeks time - I'm planning on taking my 4.5m bullet and 2.0 buster...and if I have enough room in the suitcase the kids can come along as well...

Someone reported that kiting was restricted on the dunes - So looks like they were lying... What kites did you take with you ? Would you recommend taking a landboard ?

Did you take your MTB with you ? Also was thinking before I go of getting a 0.7 buster - for those really wind days - Any good ?

Has anyone flown their kite in Gran Canaria... I have heard about the sand dunes in the south of the island but also heard that they are busy and there may be some kite flying ban...

Bought a 4.5M Bullet on handles.... Now using the kite for landboarding and would like to start using a bar. Would you recommend the Flexifoil Bullet bar or a diffrent make ?

Which type of trucks should I go for ? Trucks or the Skateboard Style trucks Main use will be kite boarding (A bit of down hill when the wind is low) - no plans at this moment for jumps etc.... So stablity and turning ability (sliding turns) will be the priority Weight 12.5 stone....if this makes a difference...

Do you have to take into account the length of the lines when working out the best line strength for the conditions ? i.e. If you have a 20M line as compared to a 40M line you could use a lower strength ?
