LABen2010 Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 hel bud 4m beamer in 42 mph !!! wow do you carry your balls in a wheel barrow ?? No, I just left the remains of my brain at home when I went for a fly in those conditions! Didn't have anything to damage that way! Wasn't too bad once hooked in. Although was a serious workout when unhooked! Now which kite to get next- access of frenzy! Going to have to get a demo soon! Quote

Going to have to get a demo soon! how heavey are you i was out in 40 ish the other week and my 3 meter exit was lifting me when parked at the zenith and i'm 16.5 stone Quote
keithrturner Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Wow, I'm coming over tomorrow to pick up a kite - I get the impression the 14m may not be geeting an outing...! better pack the smaller ones aswell then! Quote
SPIKY JACK Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Gusts up to 53 mph on the metoffice bring it on woop woop see you all in a bit Quote
SPIKY JACK Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 you all missed the best day off the year so far loads of wind and no rain Quote
SPIKY JACK Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 SORRY GUYS E K S WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW 16 TH JAN see you all next week Quote
festa Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 how is that then ?? have the fun police told you all that you've all had too much fun today ?? Quote
LABen2010 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 how heavey are you i was out in 40 ish the other week and my 3 meter exit was lifting me when parked at the zenith and i'm 16.5 stone I'm just over 11 stone! Yeah if parked at zenith it would bob me up and down (although not too harshly). So just had to keep it at edge of window non-stop. Had the 4.5 bullet out on sunday in 30+mph gusts. That was rather interesting! Body is still seriously aching! Think I'm gonna have to get a 6m access before I kill myself! All I've got to do is work out how to get it without the misses knowing! Quote
LABen2010 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 SORRY GUYS E K S WILL BE CLOSED TOMORROW 16 TH JAN see you all next week That was lucky. Didn't see this notice and a couple of us were very close to going down on Sunday! Thankfully I ended up at Ainsdale for the first time and had my best kiting day EVER. Can't wait to get back to the beach as the super smooth winds means a massive learning curve! Also want to brake the 30mph barrier as only made it to 28.6 (sooo close)!! Quote

LABen2010 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 That's a possiblity but I definitely won't be going down that route. Only way I found that I could fly fixed bridles comfortably was when I was very powered with them. Can ride a lot easier when using depowers. Come to think of it, would probably look at the 7m frenzy before I consider getting an access. Although I've got some trading to do with some LEIs soon, to be followed by kitesurfing lesson next month. All good fun!! Quote
SPIKY JACK Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 the weathers looking beter for sunday Quote
