how fat are you?

82 pies

You Guy's earn to much $8-10k on kites a year
The shop owners must love you.
How many boards? At least 2

hehehe. shop owners don't love me. i'm a second hand whore that prays on the week and the elderly to secure fruity hardly used kites and bargan basment prices.(with the execption of the reo which i'm yet to order) all kites in the quiver will have cost between $700 and $500 AUD.

ps 13m edge is not in my position yet.
ps I also have 15m manta and 10m manta for landboarding duties....

ahhh the addiction runs deep.

Hey Plummet once upon a time I was 78kg and had a 10m, 12m, 14m, 16m, 18m, and 21m. The 10 & 14 were new and the rest were 2nd hand cheapies.

Ditched that lot (getting too old, too many punctures) for a 11m Edge which covered 15 kts to - -> ? (my balls ran out at 35kts, before kite's top end)

Just got a 17m Zephyr 2nd hand as I'm getting old n fat now and there's already been a lot of 12-16 kt days lately.

I reckon 11 & 17, that's a perfect quiver.

ok heres the reasoning behind the quiver. the split quiver of different kites

Well i started off with a minimalist quiver of just the 11 edge using it 13-30.

but my location is hard out waves. as the wind increases so does the glory of the waves. I love high speed boosting and gliding through the air which the edge delivers in gobs. but it really is not the kite for waves. So as the decent waves role in, 20 knots plus, i find myself getting pulled off the faces with the aparent wind power build up of the edge.

so enter the 8m light. (thats now the 8m catalyst). which increased my range to 40 knots. Awesome in waves i could stay upwind in 20 knots but but doesn't boost high until 30-35 knots.

So i now have an issue 20-30 i can go boosting on the edge but not ride waves well or ride the waves on the 8m cat but not boost very well. I want to have my cake and eat it too!

Thus enters the c4. Wow a whole new style of flying again. fast, punchy rides waves well boosts well (but its not as glidy as the edge, not as forgivng as the cat) So this saticfies my hunger for the waves/jump style and also adds powered loops to the mix of fun things.

Now the winter storms yeild some insane conditions here. 25-45 knots and 5-8 meter swells. i need to take advantage of those storms. the riding is spectacular. but the 8m cat is too powered over 35. I need something small and fast with gobs of depower. Enter the 6 reo.


Lastly the 13m edge will fight the light summer days. i figure less wind than that and the landboard will be the tool to use.

I am 70kg's i like the challenge in light wind kiting ,this quiver covers me from 5knot's to 25 knots i need to grow some bigger you know what's to go out in 25+ knots

What if there is no wind?

What if theres no wind? longboard skating and mountain biking.

yeah i'm not sold on the zephur. a couple of guys have them locally and i don't see them getting out much sooner or busting any huge floaty airs in light winds.

I like the edge for its insane boosting and glide time.

Hey stuntnaz. the best kiting occurs above 25 knots! get amongst it!

ps now i need to work on my board quiver. A surfboard will be appearing shortly!....

The Perfect quiver - was when I met my new girl

Had been out shopping one day living the moment
got home and out the corner of my eye, there she was laying on the couch, hot n ready for action kneeling beside her, entranced by both beauty and the smooth inviting curves - I slowly moved my hand into her deep crevace, I smiled knowing that i was goin ride this baby for all she was worth.

Ohhh yeahhhh that made me quiver - put her back in the board bag grabbed a beer and said to her, another 10 knots and im gonna do both your concaves at the same time

6 surfboards incl one on order, 5'10" mulcoy, 6' dalewy, 6'4" rusty, 6'6" dalewy, 6'8" Maurice Cole & 7'2" gun
Would travel with the 6'6" surfboard & 6' kite surfboard

6, 8 & 10m noise

Got me covered for what I enjoy

wax it up a bit

Perfect session
