I've just realised I'm still classed as a 'Kook' so need to make some posts! I'm one of the many who log in regularly but rarely post,
so heres a nice easy topic to get the lurkers posting.
What kit have you got? (I thought it would be nice to see a list of what sort of kit everyone owns).
I've got.
kiting:
Peter Lynn Competition Buggy
3.3m Blade
4.9m Blade
7.5m Raptor 2
windsurfing:
F2 Viper 299
6.5m Tushingham Hekler
5.5m Tushingham Storm
And hopefully more on the way.
I'm new to windsurfing really and tend to kite-buggy most of the time. Usually at Pendine or Pembrey.
So, what kit have you all got??
Joner
Hey, Joner!
Let me get my postings upgrade in too...
Actually, like most peeps on here, my kit list is in my diary thingy. You can search who sails what.
Now, what we really need (as Al as absolutely nothing else to do with his time) is a search facility for KIT!!! (ie put in a brand of sail & see who uses it)
Andrew
Thats is actually (probably) a lot easier for me to do than you might think.. I'm not sure how many people would use it though?
Believe it or not, I'm actually quite busy at the mo as well!!... Honest!.
I did manage a little winsurf session this evening though.
My kit list (alhtough listed elsewhere) is as follows:
Windsufing:
Mistral Eruption 257cm quoted at 78ltrs, but now only about 68ltrs
Hifly 255 Rave. With a broken nose
Hifly 265 Rave.
Fanatic Cross 100
3.4m Gaastra wave slalom thing
4.5m north Voodoo
4.5m Gun WaveMC
5.0m Gun Wave MC
5.4m Tushingham Scrambler
5.7m Gun Wave MC
6.3m Gun Groove
Several masts and booms
Kiting:
4.9m Blade I
11m Wipika Free Air
MBS Reactor Mountain-Board
High Energy Directional kite-surfboard
Surfing:
5'10" High Energy Fish
6'6" High Energy Thruster

Al.
At the risk of sounding inferior to Al's impressive list of kit, heres mine:
Windsurfing:
Phoenix 320
Sailworks Retro 7.5m
Gun Flash 6.3m
Arrows 460 Mast
HPL Boom
Kiting:
Stunt kite (can't remember its name)
And thats it!... I don't get out enough to justify having anything else.
I can cheat a bit by listing all the kit in our household (i.e mine and the wifes). This makes the list look a bit better;
F2 Phoenix 320
F2 Powerglide 287
F2 Ride (not ours just 'on loan')
Arrows Craze 4.2
Arrows Craze 5.7
Arrows Craze 6.7
Tushingham Storm 6.0
Sailworks Retro 8.0
3 masts
3 booms
4 fins
Oh, and a 4.5M long circa 1980 board, rig and fin, with a 5.8M tushingham and 4.1M gastra wavesail all worth less than £10!
No Kite stuff though.
