Am 70 kg and my light wind is a sonic II 13.....I have tried lots of bigger foils and with my weight can't do much with them - my buddy who is around 100 KG sails to the moon on his 15 mt Sonic whereas I struggle to get the timing right on it

Bloody hell....is that JaseVinda off kiteboarder.co.uk.....nice to see you are still kiting......sadly not many of the London crew left

Not seen any reviews but Gong have a range of short boards - with strap options - at really low prices - 450 eu.......am tempted as wont get much use as London doesn't have many wave spots

as a consolation - last time I was at Tarifa at Playa Balneario in offshore wind saw a loose Lei kite drifting off into the sunset never to be seen again....taking on a bit of water has its advantages

He was a kitesurfer - a good buddy of one of the guys from my local spot - I didn't know him though. RIP

I have a spleene Session 141 - and it does the trick - am 70 kg and puts 1 - 2 knts low end for me...also good for jumping and riding down waves - i.e large surface are so you can depower kite a lot

I've got raynauds and boots and gloves come pretty early.. Sometimes kicks in in summer but isn't painful then... Even wearing good wetsuit and gloves.. Winter sessions have to be quite short as I quickly lose feeling in my toes and lose board control

I remember seeing a documentary where a stuntman was suffering Parkinson's - and discovered that if he took ecstasy the symptoms would temporarily disappear - the doc showed him with tremors before - taking the drug then doing somersaults on a trampoline. Not recommending getting off your face but i...

" you want proof of this, go to the doctor and say you feel fatigued or short of breath." well that happened to me but my doc sent me directly for an X-ray which resulted in immediate hospitalisation with pneumonia and iv antibiotics.....the joys of a state run health system

my nearest beach is an hour away (living in london) - so I may resort to getting the landboard out if I get a bit stir crazy
