Hi all

Just returned from "The Reef" in St Lucia where i intended to do a bit of windsurfing but ended up learning to Kite. I've done an IKO course up to level 3J (ie can stand up in both directions and that's about it )

I now want to buy some kit to continue before i lose the bug. I'm a reasonable windsurfer (waves etc) so am looking initially at getting some kit for lighter winds. The local shop are doing a Wipika package with 11 or 13.5 kite for £849 (2006 kit). This seems reasonable for a start package and i am thinking of the 13.5 kite (weigh 90kg).

Am i going about this the right way and is this a good package to start with?

Thanks

Kev

Hi, Ive sent you a private message.

There are loads of deals out there. Keep looking around. Check out the mags for good dealers. Find one you get on with and can trust. They'll offer the best aftersales service too....

you can get last years naish V4's for £300 new!!

Even cheaper V4s at £299 at whitstable windsurfing!! Long time no see Col, when you down here riding next??
All da best!!

Buy the newest gear you can afford, it'll be worth it. I spotted the new 2006 Torch on ebay, rather than buying old outta date gear. It'll be 50% cheaper i reckon.
