beardyjim Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 however if I'm the driver and you cause me to have a cavity inspection because you want to take 12 extra bottles of babysham then you gonna be my biatch for the next decade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwhippet Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 If anyone wants to buy a Nobile 164 they can buy mine! It was a reasonable board for snowkiting but I found it a bit cumbersome and the massive sidecut means it is useless when you want to put the kite in your backpack and freeride down the glacier. I'll be buying a normal twin tip for this years season in Iceland. Any reasonable offers accepted... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldwhippet Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'll get some pics later. Edges are all good and 100% ding free. No repairs, only used for a total of two weeks. It was perfect until a friend ran it through a muddy patch on the snow and there is a small discoloured area on the base that is slightly scratched too, but it could be rubbed back very easily and doesn't affect the board. How does £120 sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicseal Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Cracking price even if you added a professional £30 stone-grind service. It must be an '07 board too as they never made that size in '06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardyjim Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 yeah I saw that but decided that 40mph+ on my first snowkite holiday might be something that was worth trying on the last day of the holiday rather than the first day!

sonicseal Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Whos up for some speed trials when we get out there. GPSs at the ready. Sure, we had a few GPS on the last trips, you just stick one in your pocket if you feel the need and should have even more for '08. How about seperate speed trails for snowboards, skis and KiteSled ? Easily clocked 24.5mph in 12mph winds on a snowboard on one go I remember. They have told us there has been daily dumps of 250mm each day in the last week Who's itching to go?

Tjah1087 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 How likely is it that we will have a 40mph+ day that isn't a white-out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicseal Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I could be wrong but: Blizzards depend on the amount of surface powder or falling snow. White-outs are more affected by the light conditions where it can be very difficult to see any gradient as it turns a strange flat dull light and less related to windspeeds. We've been out in 45mph+ with no problem but on another day the risk of drifting due to the snow conditions is too dangerous. On average we have had 1 day blizzards and maybe 1 white-out day per holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee_barro1599968703 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 wat wind spinds are we likley to be getting? need to plan my kites just bought my snowboard boots and bindings 2day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjah1087 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 yeah thats what i wanted to know. i can cover upto 30-35mph, just wondering if it was worth getting something for the mega days if we are expecting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angoose Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 i'll see if i can bring a 5m roo with me :D they are awesome. now got bindings aswell, still missing the board and clothes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicseal Posted January 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 April's stats are 6 out of 7 days wind per week ranging from 15-40knts. I can't remember where I found those stats back in 2006 but KiteWorld also quoted them in the destination booklet of their latest mag edition. Ideally you want to cover your own low-medium-high windranges with a 2 or 3 kite quiver you are most comfortable with. Tjah1087 - You'll be ok. Over 35mph is pretty powered and not everyone rushes out at the same time then, so you should be able to borrow one if needed. I wouldn't worry about going out and buying a high-wind kite specially. A little 2.5m is good for howling days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
