  1. is there any areas of the beach to avoid . i don`t want to upset the locals
  2. afew weeks ago while camping at wells next the sea .there was this guy flying a4.9 blade3 scuding along the beach right in the middle of the busy part of the beach ,people ,kids everywhere,and him flying along at top speed in a strong wind harneshed in ...what a tosser
  3. ...agree with u there buddy .went up me local field yesterday an the 2.5 neally pulled me out of the buggy 3 times . but the 3.5 an 4.5 get used most ......pete
  4. ......i`m going to mablethorpe sunday for 1st time ...whats skeggy like then...pete
  5. ......i find i can use akite size up on a buggy as opposed to a board.....pete
  6. .....the size of kite very much depends on the wind. big wind small kite .small wind big kite . having never tried abeamer ican`t help u on that one but it`s the same for all kites . some r just better at catching the wind than others .it is more important to get the kite size right if u r flying inland sites ie lumpy wind . set your kite size to the gusts an not the general wind level (not as important in clean wind ) ....pete
  7. .........cheers buddy . your right i ain`t too sure about that but i try to keep the kite high above me head as much as poss ... i was talking to akite surfer at week end an he said if u hold it above u u could go downwind too much....he said keep it above then run the kite forward of u ....
  8. yea thats it i got it tonight ,two in fact .two pendulum jumps on the flexdeck, not very high mind u but al the same its there......... got going crosswind at agood speed an flew the 4.5 bullet at 180 degrees oppersite and when the pull came jumped with it and landed nice and square rolling in the right direction ...fluffed it up about 30 times mind u but who cares
  9. i use this field alot an the owner did come an tellme (your the bugger that killed my dog) a month later . ijust said sorry about that ....he has new dog now
  10. i always worry about dogs that r loose when my kite is on the deck. on more than one occasion i have had dogs charge to ward it barking (especially the flo red 4.5) .i always laurch it quick if poss..but listen to this story ....the very first time i flew the above kite (my first bullet) ihad a small dog jumping up and down an barking under neath the kite . i was keeping it high wondering where the owner was and next thing i know the dog goes quiet and is surrounded by kids . icarry on blissfully un aware its had aheartfailure and died......i find this out later.....
  11. is it possible.jumping with bullets. ihave mastered the basics and im ready to start jumping. i am gonna get my first blade in a few weeks (possibly a 6.6 ) but my largest bullet is a 4.5 an i have just started with this without too much sucsess but that is more my lack of skill in this area ..i think ..any suggestions ...cheers pete.....ps i use aflexdeck
  12. i have started to smear a small amount of grease around bearing 4 beach use......time will tell
