My kite and kite-powered toybox was a
rapidly growing and dynamic toybox, but things have
settled down now. I've also decided that kites are far to
expensive for what they are, so won't be buying any new
ones for a while. Mind you, I might change my mind
tomorrow!

My Kites
My kite toybox has been as follows:
- 2.8m Sky Kites Predator MKII.
- An absolutely lovely kite which I have now sold.
Beautiful in every way
- 4.9m Flexifoil Blade.
- Another really good kite. Excellent for
kite-jumping and a good allround kite to have.
- 5.7m Peter Lynn Waterfoil.
- I've just sold this one too, but it was a nice,
powerful valved water-relaunchable foil that I had
set up on three lines with a crossover kit and
integral safety system. See my page on my Waterfoil Set-up for more
info.
- 7.0m Advance Tethis
- A nice, big but not particularly agile foil
- 11.0m Wipika Free Air
- My kite-surfing kite. An inflatable kite which I
still fly on 2 lines but will soon set up on four
lines.

My Kite-Powered Vehicles
At the moment I have the following
- MBS Reactor Mountain board.
- A framed 132cm mountainboard, perfect for light
wind kite-traction on the sands..
- High Energy Kite-board
- This was a prototype, its a directional board
which measures 6'6" x 17.25" It has five fins and a
typical 'Y' footstrap set up... I'm not very good at
kite-surfing yet, but it looks gorgeous and seems to
go fine!
