Shame i cant make it guys. Been ripping it up on Gt Yarmouth beach today.

Some huge air with the 5m got scarey, big big air that put the frighteners up me as i didnt have my crash helmet, so ripped it up with the 3.5m.

Even with the 3.5 i scudded solid for over 150m down the beach... just wish i had the buggy.

Have a good day guys :)

frayz 18 October 2008 07:12 PM

Some fun on the beach today. Unfortunately no airborn shots as we only had a fone cam:(

What a cracking afternoon big boy:luxhello: :luxhello:

And snapping your kite killer(fookin wind)

Tiny 19 October 2008 05:06 PM

Phew ..... What a session that was :eek2: :eek2:

Started off @ Midday in very light South Westerly wind just reading 6 - 8mph So set up the 5.0m Blurr & got in the buggy underpowered :D

I Had watched the forecast all week & was expecting the wind to pick up & boy oh boy did it !! :eek: :eek:

Anyway as the skies darkened & the wind increased it was time to put the 5.0m away & get out the 3.5m Blurr how lovely is this in Hulk colours :luvlove:

With the wind meter now reading 15 - 18mph , Gusting to 20+ mph it was time to set out in the buggy with the 3.5m now with the wind so strong i found i was flying overpowered even with the smaller kite , Anyway this session see a joint PB time of 22.6 Miles per hour again :luxhello:

Now it really was starting to gust & i have never had so many OBE's in one session , With the grass stains on top of my backrest to prove it :lol1: , It was time to call it a day as it was starting to get a little lairy to say the least , So wish i had the 2.5m Rage to fly today as this just loves the 20+ mph but im still waiting for the bridle line to come from flexifoil so was uinable to drop down to the smaller kite again , Though by the time we had finished inm sure the Bigg Buzz would of got me moving in the buggy

Was great to be joined by Big Mick & Spally who bothed looked very much @ home in the buggy , Thanks for a great afternoon guys

Glad we all survived in one piece , Just about ;)

Slim :thumb:

Sure was mate , If @ times edging on the dangerous side , Still this is in my opinion makes this sport such a buzz



Sorry for stacking it 3 times:freak3: :freak3: :freak3:
No worries , Must remember never get the buggy in one direction & the kite in the other , It was always going to end in carnage :lol1:

Bit like my massive OBE After sliding it for the camera :D



And snapping your kite killer(fookin wind)
Just shows how strong it was mate to snap the killer , Just ordered another pair no probs , **** happens :thumb:

Oh & found this for you .......

Flexifoil Forums

Bit of an old dog really , But to be fair it cheap as chips , Been for sale for a while now mate , Sure you could get it for less than 80 Booner as well , Would get you started & with a bit of TLC We could get it looking better for you , Most importantly it will stop you nicking mine :p

frayz 19 October 2008 07:12 PM

Ha ha, not the first time Tiny's lost his buggy :D

SirFozzalot 19 October 2008 07:13 PM

Frayz - That beach looks fun! :norty:

yellowvanman 19 October 2008 07:27 PM

:wonder: Whats a OBE?

Not an 'Order of the British Empire'

Maybe an Out of Body Experience????????

frayz 19 October 2008 07:33 PM

just seen this thread, cracking couple of hours with the wind being a bit gusty to say the least, i got dragged along a couple of times and so did Tiny, nearly wipping me out in the process.

PMSL @ Tiny and Micks stacks, but must say looks like slim has got the buggie thing licked ;)

Cheers for letting me have a go matey absolutely loved it :D :D
