Ha Ha,


Brilliant another negged post, you kite boys really need to lighten up


How dare anyone come on here and make a little light hearted joke


By the way whoever keeps negging Frayz's posts really needs to get out more

Happy new year ESC

 

whats with all the post negging???
tis s'posed to be a season of good will and kindness

come on folks, lets not give MSOC any ***** in the armour !!!

 

 

Dave, what post was negged??? As think everyone knows most of us that do the "kite thing" are pretty easy going and can take a bit of stick the way it is intended

Now sod off and post on another thread he he he

(for those that are unsure the last line of my post is a JOKE )

 

it dont bother me people can say what they want aint going to change my life in anyway plus i cant neg anyone as not a full member or have over 2000 posts

 

Let em neg all my posts i dont give 2 *****.
Sad fcukwits have **** all interesting in their lives... im out enjoying myself

Dispite the cold (Which at one point was quite hot and i was in just a t-shirt lol) and little wind. Had a cracking day on the 6.5m Blade. Deffo a big kite day and anything under 6.5sqm wasnt worth flying.

Will post some pics up soon of our antics

 

I ignore post ratings these days

I thought the wind was light when we went out

What is the biggest "Normal" Kite then

Looking forward to the pic's

 

Unless you want to get pulled on your botty I wouldn't go over 2m for fun static flying tbh. I like my boys 1.2 meter sting as it's crazy fast in good wind, I think the 1.7 is probably good too. Tiny's Big Buzz is quite a handful in good wind I have the 4m Beamer but that is static flying in moderate blustery wind.

 

Frayz has a 6.5m do they go much bigger ?

 

its all relative to the wind mate.

Ive seen days where an 8.5m will struggle to get off the ground, then on other days ive seen a tiny 2.5m launch my 12 stone over 22yds in the air.

Id say 3.5m is a great size for static flying in most winds. Will be challenging enough for most and will still get you airborn if you just fancy some pendulum jumps

 

Spally & i have 7M's but there are diffrent types as well as sizes , Some offer lift , Some offer Traction / Pull

Really depends if you want to jump ( Lifty kite = Blade etc .. ) Or just get pulled along fast etc ( Traction = Blurr ) In the right winds though both kites will also offer both

Best bet mate is to get along & try a few out , Are you really interested or taking the pee ?

 

Flysurfer make a 26m mate, it all depends what youre doing with it, what design it is and how you fly.

My 6.5m blade will have more power than most 7/8m kites purely due to its design. Most kitesurferes will be out on anything from 10m to 19m. But that is due to the kite design they use. They use inflatable kites called LEI (Leading Edge Inflatable) These are Dpowerable and designed to be relaunched on the water.

There really is alot more to it but it depends what you wanna do as to which kite you require

 

Friday

Wind Map - Britain

 

I never take the Pee

I am just amazed at the variation in types and sizes

When are you out next? I MUST GET ALONG SOON

 

Will get along Friday

WHERE?

 

Hopefully fly Friday Phil.

Youre so close to the kite park, it would be daft not to come along

 

Essex Power Kite Park in Barling mate

 

If your in Gt Wakering I will defo be along

 

We will be as long as the wind forecasted for Friday now is still about

Be good to see you , Make sure you load up with loads of burgers you will do a roaring trade

 

Phil, also gives a good excuse for a blast along Shopland Road

Simon still wants to see the kites and buggies, so may pop along Fri if you are at Barling.

 

You soon get used to the power though Stu. I love using my 2.5 Rage for Static flying, but I've used the 4.7 Rage in lower winds static flying too.

 

News to me

 

More practice required, Frayz's 3m sting really did surprise me, I could feel the potential for embarrassment which is which I landed it again after 10 minutes

 

Just a couple of snaps of our fly this morning. Wind was very very light (6/8mph) but still enough to practice some groundwork.

Cheers again to Paul and Shaun spending some time with me and my technique.

Happy new year guys.

I hope 09 as a whole lot more

The kite bus







Tiny's new 7m Blurr

And me lol. he spent more time with you lot than me this xmas.

Oh well shopping on me own Friday then.

 

lol tell me about it! But I prefer shopping on my own as he only gets in the way!

 

Thats that then, you two can go shopping.

Looks like passes all round for Friday then guv

 

Is there any spending money involved?

 

Yeah, you can spend as much of your own as you like.

 

That is no fun... actually I think we should spend friday together now
