  1. Hello all, I've been lurking around reading about depowerable kites for a few months and considering what to go for. All my landboarding is done inland on playing fields, and mostly i fly without other kiters about, currently my thoery is: Arcs n such, cba with the hassle of getting them up and down on my own. Is this unjustified? Frenzy 03/04 looking good, but tbh im very nervous about buying a serious kite like this second hand, i would rather have the peace of mind of buying a new one. Overtly paranoid? Frenzy 05 / Physco 2 / prolly Sabre = how much!?! Spotted this on another forum: http://www.oceanside.co.uk/osb/itemdetails.cfm?ID=43 Whats the likelyhood that this is going to compare anywhere near favourably to the above kites, and that someone might fly one of these anytime soon and post a review? Seems very reasonably priced to me. Im assuming that around 10m is good for overall boardage. Any comments greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Matt.
  2. Just picked up a Blade III 6.6 from ebay, but i must admit its making me a little nervous so it will only be coming out in light winds. Wish me luck! Matt
  3. Hello everyone! I recently started landboarding with a PKD Buster 4m and a Flexdeck, my god is it fun! I just had a great weekend, and it was the first time i really felt that the kite was flying in the right windspeeds for it. I've come to realise that the 4m buster is a great kite for learning on, but just doesnt have enough oompf in low winds, especialy when the board starts moving. So, i've convinced myself that i need a bigger kite for those less windy summer days. I've just read the monster thread on the 7m buster, but no one really mentioned any of the alternatives. My friend (who got me into all this) has a 5m Radsail pro, and i must admit the build quality and lines look much better than my buster. So you can get a 7m Buster or a 6m Radsail Pro both for around £200, would anyone like to venture an opionion on which i shoulf go for? I've read in places that just because a kit is bigger doesnt mean it will pull more, does anyone know if the 7m buster is a better puller? and im not talking about the ladies Also, are there any other kites around this price mark i should be considering? Thanks in advance for any help, it will be greatly apprecited. Matt
