Putting this in Surf because the Outdoor option didnt work and there was no option for Kite

Any other Landkiters or even Kite surfers on here?

Just curious.

Iv'e just got me a land board, shortly getting a buggy. I'm rolling with a 4m PL viper and a 2m vibe at the moment, but am looking add something bigger, mebbe a 10m Ozone frenzy.

I scored 2 landboards off trademe this week (stoked). 1 each. We also have a PL buggy on layby in town for hubby.

I currently have a 1.7m Flexifoil Sting and hubby has a 3.5m Flexifoil Blurr.

Its SOOOO much fun.

Nice, I had my eyes on that flexifoil deck too! You're in welly eh? Where do you kite? I'm in Bulls and have been going down to himitangi/foxton when there has been a nice westerly. There is some totally sweet beach when the tide is out, nice and flat with good hard sand. I can't wait to get the buggy!

Nah, stole dads trademe account :P

Am up in Hobsonville. We go to the park over the road when the numbies arent playing cricket there. Its nice and open with no trees or lines. Great for learning.

I think i saw you on kiteforum.co.nz, I have been lurking there too :P

Oh that's right your partner works at whenuapai correct? Ohakea=motherfucking boatloads of win for kiting when there is no flying on; Such are the benefits of being in the service!

Yeah, that kiteforum is pretty sweet, and a bit more civilized than this place!

we cant get on whenupai or hobby, even when no flying is on :/ i heard tell of some big kite fest in september on ohakea base?

yeah, they usually have a kite day on fathers day. Peter Lynn brings some big display kites, and buggies/blokarts are given a piece of runway to play on! I missed out on last years one cos of being in Blenheim, so this year should be awesome!

Definitely worth getting on sats for!
