What a nice way to spend a saturday morning, bloomin' hard work those big kites, my arms are knackered. Quite a giggle too, watching people get dragged around.

A few pics....












Spally thought he'd have a go of my (*cough*) high powered delta kite.....




Proved a bit powerful for him ...








I think Fozz is hooked (Big Kite added to the wedding list)....


Watching Spally trying to hang onto the larger kite was hilarious










When's the next kite meet?

Boy oh Boy how much fun was that

Dont think ive had such a good laugh in such a short space of time as i did this morning , Everytime i laughed it hurt my stitches

Them kites are simply awesome

We must not let this be a fad & Keep getting out with them

Fozzy - 2 Hours mastered every kite there after not bieng able to keep one in the air @ the start

MarkB4 for all the help & advice for setting me up , Cant wait to i feel im up for flying it , Though a bigger one is already pulling @ the strings

BRI4N - Stopping off @ Argos on the way there to buy kites

Spally Boys & the wind sock FPMSL !!

Great company , Great fun , Great entertainment

Thanks everyone for coming

Oh & you might find this usefull ....

I must admit the little Flexifoil Buzz kite, Tiny had was pretty impressive, still a decent make kit, but at a sensible price, Ideal beginner Kite.

PMSL ... I Knew this was coming

The one that you & your brother were flying most of the time was my PETER LYNN STING 1.5M On new Flexifoil 40m 100lb lines , This looks to have been discontinued , The best comparison for that kind of kite i can find you is this

http://www.kiteshop.co.uk/xcart/kite...lack_p962.html

Same sort of size / speed etc & Still a 2 line power kite , Ideal price to begin with , But you soon got the hang of it im sure you would be cool going straight into a 4 liner

The other ickle one ( Courtneys ) Was the NEW BIG BUZZ From flexifoil

http://www.kiteshop.co.uk/xcart/kite...buzz_p733.html

At just £60 , It's a wicked just get out the bag & fly kite as Hales proved in Le touquet in 30+ mph winds , Hence him being put on his arris , Great starter kite , Little faster in the air than the prevoius one cos it's smaller


My other one ( Big one ) is this ...

http://www.kiteshop.co.uk/xcart/kite...2-5m_p567.html

FLEXIFOIL RAGE 2.5M 4 Line kite , This is the one i struggled to get back of Sir Fozz ....

" Oh please Tiny just one more go !! "

At £199 It's a little more pricey , But as Fozz & Bri4n both proved the 4 lines is nothing to be daunted by , Just wish i was better so i could fly it , Noticed today that these 4 line kites are easier to fly / take off / set up/ on your own as the 2 line kites need someone 99% of the time to launch it for you

Go i sound like a pro !!

Sure MarkB4 Will add his bit also

Im off now to look @ this
