I wanna go out now, although arms and shoulders still properly ripped from the weekend

Spent an hour or so down with Bill @ Sports Corner in Grays today choosing and setting up a proper harness for buggying as i wanna make that step to being properly bolted to the kite.

Came out with a Libre race, seat harness, Arminator roller bearing spreader bar and strop line.
Totally not the harness that i would of picked on looks alone but i have to go with what the expert says is the "best buggy harness i can buy" lol.

Cant recomend him enough for his time and attention spent with me today. Really really nice guy and only too happy to talk everything kites etc.

Aparantly, everything ive learn about flying ive got to forget as i need to learn to fly all over again harnessed up lol.

Its gonna be a steep learning curve from here but cant wait.

Heres my new kit

Ive not had experianec with the radsail but have the beamer.

Youre better off asking here fella for real advise from guys that have actually flown both.

Flexifoil Forums - Powered by vBulletin

Out of interest, how much are you looking at spending and what do you want to use it for?

I say this as it will have a good effect on what you should be looking at buying?
Also look at offerings from ozone too as these are stunning kites for the money.

If you want a great deal on a kite, much better than any ebay seller, go and see Bill at SportsCorner in Grays. He will match or beat any price you find and will offer expert advise, service and backup that you wont find elsewhere.

It's a good idea to keep an eye on the "for sale" section of the Flexifoil forums too.

I got a virtually brand new Flexifoil 4.7m Rage (£300 new) for a bargain price of £160, delivered.

There are some bargains out there!

£150 will get you a nice ozone, much better quality than the above Beamer.RS kites.

Deffo ask about before buying bud
