Well with those sort of conditions I would have not had anything smaller enough, so glad I stopped at home and built the wet locker for my Zafira.

nick i was on a 13m, just thought you wanted some company on your new toy, must admit i really enjoyed it, hadn't had it out for ages forget how punchy they are, mind you it did seem slow compared to the 9m's ive been flying recently, allowed me to go anywhere though,and the jumps were pretty high, especially when using that shinn board

oh yea by the way according to spooker it was way more windier at the entrance to the estuary.

more toys next week me thinks ..

oh yea by the way nick and anyone else for that matter, the kit i use always has a very good price for sale on it

My instincts in for repair at the moment, I flogged off my 13 and got a 9, and its shockingly grunty for a smallish kite.

shinn 130 is free but ive taken that option, shame... boards i own so not for sale yet but the kites i ride are all from john and Dan at powerkiteshop so there's always a price on them, just ask john or Dan at the shop, but if it's windy you can't have any nine M's there all mine i tell you all mine..

by the way ive changed my mobile number i'll text or mail most of you with the new number apologies if i miss some of you off..col
