I'll post the ones that came out well mate.
Some i think you need a wee bit more practice at.
My camera and lense you can buy now for less than a grand. I'll teach you a bit more about it so you can get better results with it and then maybe go get yourself something similar

Here are todays snaps, Tiny on the camera for most of them.
We had a great day, started off sunny with a light breeze, finished off with a small storm and some bigger winds.
The Boss was straight in there...
His weapon of choice
Celebrated in style after a successful first flight
Paul and Shaun used the initial light winds to get in some board practice in.
My antics for the day
Of course, no day of "Flat-out" flight is complete without a stack whilst trying out some new tricks. (Hero in a half shell!)
As the winds got up so the airtime got better
Above all, a great day at Essex PowerKite Park

Theyre great on a board mate and work really well. Just really boring to use in a buggy. I dont think you get the manoverability or control liek you get with handles. On a board you have alot more room to move your arms/hands that you dont in a buggy.
If trundling up/down the field with little involvement or effort is what youre after then go for a dpower setup. Other than that i think its a boring way to power a buggy.

After today, the freestyle thing is getting a bit serious so i decided to order one of these.
Dainese Impact Jacket Race
Its the propper job, as recomended by Paul and Shaun, better tha the pressure suit and others etc.
Gotta be worth it really.
