ok- after 2 hrs flying my kite i am to knackered to find the original post i started on this so heres a new one!

my kite is AMAZING- i weigh 17 st and in a 10-20mph wind this thing has just pulled me round a field like i was tied to the back of a car....my bro (14 st) had a go and was gettin launched into the air!!!!

if you are looking for a mad hobby/exercise/extreme sport- buy one of these- i had ppl videoing me it was so mad!!!

Tiggs (knoackered!)

How cool is that. Im about 10 stone so which one would you recomend for me then, i dont want to end up 30-40ft in the air cos im only in my 20s and i want to live a while yet.

Nice one Tiggs, imagine what they'll be like on water!!
Post a vid clip, give us a laugh.

it wasn't me videoing...it was just amazed passers by! i will get some pics soon though.

as to what size kite to buy... i was worried that a 4m would be to small but in yesterdays wind (nothing special, just a normal british windy day) it was mad. on a calm day it might be better.

best thing to do is to get a variety of kites for different winds (which i will do now but i didnt want to commit to until i tried it)

good source of info is the flexifoil BBS

ps- ache this am!

Tiggs :D :D

Glad to hear you are enjoying it.

Bet those shoulders and arms are hurting a bit this morning ? ;)

Cheers

Ian

hurt! they feel like they are gonna drop off!

i wouldnt get any bigger than 4m till you start using it for a traction sport buggying or mountain boarding there a bit too powerful
a quiver of kites this is where it gets a bit pricey,i can recommend the 2m blade 2 .this is the one i fly the most and picks up good speed
remember these are no good to learn to kiteboard youll need a quiver of inflatables blah blah
