    Kitesongs

    Don't forget the Elton John Classic - Tangle in the Wind
  9. I was tempted to have a play with it - there wasn't any wind!
  10. Leigh, if it was your DS I found on the field today, i've left it with the guys in the shop.
  11. I'm not like the other big kids that wanted to play in the big puddle!!
  12. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing. Wondered why there were so many people on the beach so early in the morning. There was virtually no wind that day, but loads of people all flying red kites. They even had one of those wind-machines - often wanted one of them for those no-wind days!
  13. Was this what I saw been filmed at Ynyslas (Borth) at the end of August?
  14. Just come back from a two week holiday in Aberdovey - and the 3.5m Bullet I bought (through the forum - £130) got as much use as my Venom. Superb kite for windy days.
  15. My Kheo Flyer is about 3 years old and has a natural bias to the heelside. I tend to have the bindings quite loose so that your foot position is as central on the board as you can get it. When the board is moving at a decent speed it actually becomes less of a problem as you'll find yourself naturally compensating on the toe side. Hope this makes sense

    Weaver attack

    We've already got a Flexifoil Sting and a Peter Lynn Venom its only a matter of time until we get the Ozone Weever 16m.
  17. Thanks for the vid. A real treat to watch whilst eating me lunch at work.
  18. Great weekend of flying. Finally getting to grips with the Venom and really enjoying the boarding. Think Geoff needs a BIGGER field!!!
  19. Good to see you all yesterday at Hydro. Thanks for your help and advice. Simon
  20. Are any of you guys planning a trip to Hydro tomorrow? I need to get to grips with the Venom.

    Venom 2 !!

    Given the issues with the Zero4 bar - leash snagging and now a product recall in France, PL should be focusing on the bar rather than poncing around with those naff colours.
  22. Thanks for the info guys. Downloaded, watched and learnt! Just gotta decide whether its 13m or 16m!
  23. Its my 40th Birthday on Wednesday and I've decided to treat myself to a de-powerable kite. I am pretty sure that a Venom 13m or 16m will tick most of my boxes, but I have some concerns over solo launching and landing. Some threads suggest that this could be the kites major downside. Does the DVD supplied with the kite offer any useful pre-purchase information? If it does would anyone care to burn me a copy in exchange for some beer vouchers?
  24. I've flown both my own BIII 4.9 and a mates BIII 4.0 on the same day, same conditions. The additional pull on the 4.9 was significant. Go 4.9 every time! As for Bar Vs handles, I started with a Bar and switched to handles recently. My boarding has progressed significantly since doing so as I feel I have much greater control.
  25. Pity you can't send your broken body parts to the flexifoil repairs department as I understand they can turn repairs around in 10-14 days and usually you can't see the join. Wishing you a speedy recovery
