Its the time of year again when a new rash of kiters appear on this forum all asking pretty much the same questions.

Guys & Gals - we are not going to respond to every second posting asking the same questions that have already been answered many times over. I reckon the least used forum function is the SEARCH. It works really well and will keep you happy for hours.

Thanks

I have no difficulty with the same questions being asked. The more often issues come up the more likely the message sinks in - especially SAFETY issues - not having a go at you Mr Plow - just have a different opinion.

As a newbie i will admit to not checking the forum for previous posts and am sorry, but as myself i say, who cares? if you dont want to reply just ignore the post and let others help out and remember that the previous posts are most likely to be old and possibly out of date as new stuff keeps coming in, so chill.

Check out the last weeks posts...all about..what is his compared to that & is a bow better tan a "c" and what about foils...and what size do I need...

Its clogging up the forum doooooooodes & the answers (if there are any) have already been given...read before you blatter.

Bondo - no mate never heard about Helium...oh no wait - apart from the 1 post a month from some prat.

Next posting will be about do red kites go faster - i just know it.

I take back all I ever said about used car salesmen - they must earn their keep with the tyre kickers they have to put up with.

Anyway - had a good kite today

could I make an argument that white kites might go faster?

They heat up less in the sun and therfore expand less and therefore have less air resistance.

Of course - Someone might correct me and point out that a more solidly pumped LE (which a black kite would in theory have) would go through the air faster - thus giving black kites the edge.

Ah so why wear boarding over the wetsuit?

I'm still trying to fugure out why the young surfer crew wear boxers under boardies and boxers under wetsuits?

its simple - you wear clean boxers under your wettie in case you get hit by a car or truck. you wear boardies over your wettie cause it helps you ride better unhooked.

I've tried to get the label of my calvins to show above the top of my wettie but you've gotta pull em up REALLY far.
