Yep, I reckon TP. Nice and local, normally good wind there and a few slopes to practice on the board without the kite.

I reckon the title of this thread should be changed.

Just something like ~ "Official ESC Kiting thread" or something.

When do we get the EKC sitckers? (Essex Kiting Crew)

Forecast look's great for both days , So takeya pick , Looks like a few of the boys from FF Will be @ the EKP On Sunday

ame to see me last night for a chat. Said he will be flying both days at EKP.
He's a top boy that fella mate i tell ya , Not even met him yet but swapped rather a few PM's now

Im starting to make myself look a bit of a **** now to be honest ( Not hard i know ) But ive told this fella twice now that i will be over there @ the weekend & ive bailed out both times

Perhaps as a crew we should visit there Sunday & if we do fancy a bit on Saturday we could all go somewhere local ?

As ever im easy mate long as im Buggying im easy

Oh & we need to get the Fozzmiester on this Board thingy

YEEEHAAAAA!

Just got back from a bit of flying session!

Travelled the length of a football field on the board!

Felt like I was doing 500mph......however was probably more like about 10mph!

It was awesome! Still buzzing.....want to go out again!

Didn't fall off once....although I know it will come!

Almost went over once, belting along, tried to jump off and got my foot trapped in the bindings! Managed to jump clear though and kept the kite in the air and my feet on the ground!

I was pleasantly surprised at how stable it is actually.

Maybe all those days of buzzing about on my skateboard all those years ago were worthwhile after all!

I might pop over for an hour or so but I still haven't sorted the insurance yet ( I know, I know! ) so no flying possible for me over there and I really want to get some flying in if I can.

I went to the local field just down the road from me tonight. Nice and big (approx. 7 footie pitches + a bit more)...and free parking! Not sure how busy it is over there on a Saturday/Sunday though.

Getting lonely on my own all the time though!
