Thanks for all the replies.
So a bit out of touch,what would expect to pay for a 3 strap,five two,quad fin set up as a ball park figure.

Thanks for the info,a good read.

Have a fair amount of chop where I ride.
Strapless just doesn't work for me like to ride powered and locked in,big smiles.

Hey thanks for getting back to me. Not familiar with the names,are they all west country based. I have a 3 strap directional which I love for the conditions it was built for,not for surf as I don,t get any at my local spot. It was made by Colin McCulloch sadly no longer with us,anyone of old will kn...

Anyone know of anybody making custom kite surf boards or windsurf boards in the UK anymore or is it a dead art? Not twin tips just directionals/surfboards.

I've just replaced mine after nine years of use and they've been fantastic for what I wanted out of a kite.In fairness I liked them so much I bought three of them and then just rotated there use,also picked them up cheaper as they weren't current models.The only reason I'm replacing them is after ni...

Just a bit of a bump,do any current kiters know of any ex kiters who might have one of these kicking about.
I,ve managed to get hold of one which was cool and just the job.Would like a couple if I can get hold of them as I kite a lot.
Thanks

I know this is a bit of a long shot but does anybody have any Naish Shockwave 1s sitting around not being used. I know that this wasn't a particularly popular kite for many,but it is still my kite of choice and would be interested to find any kiters or ex kiters who might have one in good nick and w...

David really is amazing,he's doing all the things we all wished we could do full time through our twenty's and thirty's all through his seventies.

Hi

Does anyone know of or are using a stopper on a single line depower that works as well as the now common double line that goes thru the stopper like the Naish Smartloop.

Thanks and regards

Thanks for all the replies.Hey Pierre the swivel you suggested is the one I've actually got hold of to try.Have you actually used this yourself as it doesn't look as refined as a kite specific swivel but if it works that would be good. Hey James thanks for the heads up on the kite specific swivels I...

Does anybody have or know where I might be able to get a kite specific swivel for connecting front lines to the trim line/depower strap.I am currentlty doing a mod on a bar and lines and have only been able to come up with a part from a chandlery which might do the job but is a little bit bigger tha...
