am in South Africa this week! iplayer is not supported, neither is the previous link provided!? any ideas people?

People wanted to see if anyone can throw any places to go and see for the following locations? Barcelona - Tomorrow & Wednesday night South Africa 14th - 19th, Durban & J'burg.. Business obviously take priority (sadly) ideally looking for advice on restaurants, bars etc.... Also any insight into St. Lucia, cause thats my first holdiay on the year end of Nov, early Dec. will check bakc on your Barcelona Advice tomorrow guys... appreciate it... Marcus

Diem how did you get on? Marcus

Diem i'm the VP international Marketing for a Software company.... live your challenge everyday. last thought which should help you out. Think Solution, get them talking, listen to their requirements, get them to explain all the detail.... you just listen and almost repeat back their "dream ideas" 2 ears, 1 mouth - use then in that order.... Don't be concerned about pulling a colleague into the conversation, just explain that they have more experience or are possibly better position to answer that specific element of the request.... again i can't stress enough, enjoy yourself, smile and the day's will go in a flash - although your feet may be tired from standing up and still pretty much all day

Diem Honesty is the best policy, be polite, be yourself, people don't want the slick sales pitch, but a reflective and honest view to their challenge, belief or dream. but most importantly don't stress, stay calm and most importantly try and enjoy yourself. Marcus

Possibly a Riot? i've just brought a house in Ashtead, what are the Downs like for flying, can you board there? might see you down there sometime soon

I have a 12m & 7m 06 waroo's which might fit your requirements? Both in good condition, never have the time to fly due to work commitments. Bristol boy born and bred will be down before the end of the month, if your interested

what happened to the Hub's? was watch the previous on e-bay but was away at the weekend..... let me know best price and can you drop them off in Hythe? cheers Marcus

a foot + in london, causing chaos for the majority. It's still coming down now, apparently at it's worst will be 4ish, so i'm off home from work shortly

to be fair it the atmosphere and those around you that make the night... i live 5-10 minutes walk from the eye and have been pretty much every year for the last 5. Best viewing points would be to stick North of the River, any where from Westminster Bridge to Blackfriars Bridge. get there early and be equipped for a all eventualities, warm cloths and lots of your favorite tipple enjoy it, for a change, i'm heading the coast for new year, so will hopefully be out kiting over the long weekend

Interested to hear views also, as the 8m is on my list too

I was there, and yes the cheerleaders were definitely the star attraction. quite how they can justify 5 - 8.45ish for 60 minutes of sport baffles me! i know the reason's but still feel it silly. on the plus side, wembley was a great stadium to watch the game in

Marcus, 33, EMEA Marketing Director for a US software company it pay's well, but leave very little time to play

Currently flying 06 Waroo's (12m & 7m) on an 07 best bar, considering the dramatic update to the Waroo and other kites since 06, what size's should i consider getting in the 08/09 ranges.... weigh in at 10.5 - 11 stone and 5' 6'' like the option on a 7 or 8m kite at the high end rather than 9m for highwind kite. would consider switching Brands however the cost of updating Bar & Lines does play some questions to budget... do Best 08/09 kites fly OK on the 07 bar? or will i be looking at a new bar anyway. Will obviously look a demo's before making the plunge, however what kites do people recommend for newbie/intermediate rider.... appreciate peoples thought's and pimping

I don't 'quite' earn that much, the job is demanding, however it does impact my flying time dramatically......

http://plopr.com/ it's great to know how much you get paid

I use the Warrior, uber comfortable not used the prolimit one, so can't compare, sorry

Give me an idea on the 8m as might be interested

any pic's? and where in the UK are you?

want to freestyle, but realistically am a very comfortable free rider, crusing, speed and small jumps. Happy to fly from 10-30mph on the 12 & 7, but there's appears to be a whole in the middle where neither is right Looking to get myself out on the water more (time permiting), but locations are oppening up... need to be fairly flexible in terms of packing and travelling also. went to greece for 2 weeks summer 07 and took 12m & 7m + boards, harness etc.. but that was my luggage and that ain't going to work when you have to take suits, shirts, laptop etc......

I haven't flown for probably 2 months mainly due to starting a new job, it's stressful, involves travelling to the US, Dubai + plus other locations on what appears to be a monthly basis!!! (sounds great, but i promise you it's a real drain). Want to get out more, but alos tempted to update my kit to give me a boast. so need a kite that cover's land and water (although still a relative novice on water) i'd probably never get rid of my Riot, and will keep it as my fixed bridle bit of easy fly release....... Flysurfer, another Best SLE, another SLE or C kite, probably not an Arc (but never say never) Need something to get my energy back into flying, beach trips are becoming harder and harder with limited time, but i know if i invested some cash, then i be back into i have to use this thing... and be back to love it advise please, nit going to say money is not an issue, but budget is seriously stretchable with the new job paying within a nice bracket

cn you PM your best price for the flysurfer.... ? cheers Marcus

Dan can you PM price for hub's & tyres cheers Marcus

PM me a price on the 9m K/O will be in the US next week, but will try and check in to see if you respond. cheers Marcus

I have an 06 7m Waroo, brought secondhand 10+ months back and paid the same (actually a little less)..... it's definatley not a C kite..... love mine for those stupid day's, been the only person out playing on the beach some day's wouldn't give mine up (until i can purchase a new 7m model)
