i have a 9m, 7m and a 5m waroo. the 9m works till 35mph and the 7m works up to 50 mph peaks. After that if the wind is sustained at 50mph i.e. 45 to 55 then i would be using the 5m. great little kite but the 7m is the kiddie of you only go out in winds under 50 mph. i have the 5m in the boot just in...

granted, i hope he makes a full recovery.

he's really lucky to be alive and i hope his luck holds out some more and he comes on the forum to tell us about his recovery and just what happened in his case. All the very best.

the florida video is shocking. i can only remember being out in one violent weather front and we all activated our releases immediately but taht was just a normal squal - not a tropical one. really sorry for the guy. i actually took my bar out of the bag today pulled my quick release a few times. i ...

guys, i'm really sorry this happened. The speed he went through the air was frightening. The first impact may well have disorientated and concussed the kiter so what happened after that was out of control. Good salutory lesson of the dangers in the sport. i was out in the UK in llanngennith in 40 to...

in manic conditions things can go wrong. Was out on sat in good 7m conditions up to 40mph or just above and there were downed kites aplenty. One kite in the waves released his kite on a line and then his safety gave way and we justsawthe kite fly off into the waves. U can't get too close to a kite l...

Really sorry to hear such terrible news. Perhaps, the kiter was knocked unconsicious in some way? Then in moderate conditions with on shore winds bridled kites will go to the edge of the window and one might hope drag a kiter toward the shore, Surely, a c-kite with no depower is more inclined to kit...

Blutak is just putty bud (used to adhere A4 paper to walls).

Perhaps, i was a bit hard on teh original psoter. Perhaps he really is genuinely stoked with a 10% discount. Cheers.

Man, this is an awful post. So i better let you know what really works purely from a non pimping point of view. i have one of these http://www.freestyleaudio.com/buy.php its half the price of the above stuff. i have had it a year and still going strong. Awesome bit of kit. Don't bother with the ear ...

Cheers guys. That's really helpful. I think i'd like to try a hybrid just to see what its all about. I will defo look itno the bumble bee thing and also shinn wave board as well - if they are half as good as they look then they've gotta be a goer. Cheers.

Guys, i use me twin tip to ride the waves all the time and love it to bits. i have been planning to get to grips with me rocketfish and surf with a unidirectional board but its gonna take me a while to get dialled in on this especially being totally comfortable on toeside and getting outside. So is ...
