  2. Your welcome John and in truth after first seeing a team fly I found one of your videos of you flying @ the SS Great Briton and then found more and I just needed to get a rev all from you [emoji4][emoji4] Sent from my iPad using KiteLife mobile app
  3. Ps John your tutorials are always professional and natural the confidence in your flying comes out in your voice and body movement you may have to think about what you are saying but it never comes over or shown in your tutorials , your a pro flyer that wants to share his knowable know how with a passion , the only thing I would like to see in your tutorials is the setup your using eg kite , line length, rods and wind conditions but that is it !!

  4. Ok I lost interest in the club 38 within 60 seconds !!!!! Why should I trust a guy that has to use a script !!!!!!!! That's a no trust earner in my eyes I'm shore the guy can fly well and knows what he is doing but it sadly will not come across that way , this is just my view and not an attack on the guy sorry I don't know his name Sent from my iPad using KiteLife mobile app
  5. Definitely think I should get this easy to set up , keep in the boot and can fly it on my lunch brake [emoji4][emoji4] Sent from my iPad using KiteLife mobile app

    Just one thing I forgot like deafthunder said start with two handles and use KITEKILLERS !! They strap round your wrists and attach to the brake lines if you get in trouble or get over powered just let go of the handles and the brake lines get put on 100% and the power lines get slack you won't loose your kite and should get it down safely The first power kite I had a go on ( or should I say had a go on me ) was a peterlynn blade 7.5 in 18 mph winds with my friend and owner of it , with me being 5 foot 8 and 133 lbs I learned how to scudd ( getting pulled around sliding on your feet ) very fast !!! And got boosted ( lifted off your feet ) once or twice and fell in love instantly [emoji4][emoji4] lol Sent from my iPad using KiteLife mobile app

    Ok firstly I live in the uk and I kite buggy and surf you mention the HQ range and I would recommend them I started on a Beamer 2 meter and now have a full quiver of beamers from 2 meter to five meter I found this for you in the us ( I take it that's where you are ? ) there easy to fly and your have lots of fun http://www.awindofchange.com/product/beamer5.html First stage is start small and not to over power your self and to get used to the controls of the kite and how it acts in the wind window if your not shore on the wind window look it up and learn it , now it may seam a little bit of a long trip to take but before you even think of getting on a board or in a buggy you need to learn to fly the kite and know where it is without looking lots of finger of 8's keeping the kite high to avoid unwanted power and the embarrassment of doing a superman ! , when learning never go on your own !! There is plenty of videos on you tube to help but that's nothing compared to finding someone local to you that can help and lead you HQ do do a video on YouTube about flying the Beamer I think they show you flying a 2 meter but there all the same [emoji4] here is a link it's an old video but still the same setup Others on here may have a better idea of kite ideas for you as the kites available in the us will be a lot different to here in the uk Hope this helps and happy flying [emoji4][emoji4] Sent from my iPad using KiteLife mobile app
