back from the folks, showed my dad the clip and he was wetting himself - yeah, cheers dad!!!

i had a small shard of glass in my arm, which i just open surgeried myself lol.

wide awake again... !!!

early to bed, early to rise, and have to bufty up the car again.

i spoke to a guy who offers a 2 day wetboarding for £200.00 in southend.
all inclusive and we can split the days.
he said its the best grounding for kite training, nothing to hit, just full pelt with the wind.
plus lots of theory....

i'm up for it, if anyone else fancies it

i'll email him for more details!!!

water + wind = mayhem !!!

Yeah shame mate , As text i had a couple of hours over the park , Wow real windy with stormy skys , The Big Buzz was enough today a real battle , Just go's to show how you do really need a selection of kites to be able to fly in all conditions

Arms now killing me

Have to ask @ 40 yrs old nx May , Am i to old to start xtreme sports ?

Just now need some long hair , Tribal tattoo's , Silly beany hat , & born to fly t shirt to look like all kiters do !!

We have a vast aray of exceptionally varied, and carefully selected hobbies. Hobbies that mere mortals wouldnt understand the depth required to use and purchase said items and all the attachments, add ons and tat required to fully appreciate the "all the gear, no idea" legacy.




































Ah f*ck that!!
