aye aye notts nay, you could be lucky this weekend if the forecast is anything to go by...suppose to be lots of snow falling over uk..pack your kite and board and head for the high ground.

re: led - snow kiting

alrighty

yeh im a snowboarder

I have a Flexifoil Blade 2 6.4m & a 9m
use them both for recreational flying, 6.4 mainly for land boarding n buggying and 9m for massive lofting airs.

HOWEVER!

I have brought a 7m Sabre which is my first depowerable kite, im hoping to use this on the snow after some leasons!

maybe i should invest in a smaller kite to learn on? I am quite a confident snowboarder. wot u recon?
