Thanks for replies, I'll stick to Bristol, Cardiff then

I think I can find a job in any big city, but the second important thing for me is mountain biking, so I'm looking for hills and mountains (and bike parks), so I'm planning to live near Wales (and its famous bikeparks/trails )

Hi!
I'm moving to UK in a few weeks and I though about kite, as there is a lot of water
Which part of the UK has the best spots for kite and wave ?
Looking at the map, I'm thinking about staying in Bristol - close to south coast, close to Cornwall and of course Bristol Channel.
Am I right ?

In lighter conditions the problem is I finish an air transition with a vertically down power dive in order to get going in the new direction, but sometimes this does not provide much power. This causes me to land and sink down a little in the water momentarily. maybe you're not stopping before jump...

i've started my sissy hooked KL (1-2m above water) on RPM 8m2.
very fast, low bar pressure, fantastic kite

but for that kite you need 20knt and more.

i'm using rrd fatalwave 5'9'' quad configuration, but i hadnt have a chance to test in on big (more than 1m) waves :/
I thought that it is not too agile because of quad setup

so quad is more agile (more maneuverability) than thruster?

new nobile straps

are very comfy
also SP (SP makes equipment for many brands) has some gel filled pads, Mushow has them too.

But as said, other board/fin factors can be much more important than the 3 or 4

Well, if we are speaking about one board, there are no other factors

Hi!
I didn't have too much time to test both settings this season, but briefly:
-quad goes better upwind and has less maneuverability.
-thruster has more maneuverability (and it's not so good in going upwind)
