Question Kites....
Hi folks...

I've recently taken up kite flying (Gives me something to do when the diving is off!) .. Does anyone else partake? If so, what make/model of kite do you have? and do you have any tips for a newbie?

Sounds a little childish, but it is a good laugh and damm good fun!

Cheers
Neil

Try the Kiteshop for some ideas. Got some great triple canopies I've got my eye on

Never done it yet but talking to a couple of kite surfing friends makes me want to stay away from this. I want to stay away because it sounds like great fun, diving is expensive enough without taking up a kite sport.

Cheers
