Kite Landboarding in London

CuriousJess - 9-5-2011 at 09:14 AM

I am arranging a friends birthday this Saturday and I would very much like to arrange a kite skateboarding session in a park somewhere in London for around 12 of us. Does anyone know where I can find some information on this? Or can someone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks!

i know that there is a guy in london that does Lessons. I can't remember his name, but i'm sure if you google kite schools in london it'll pop up somewhere. he's a very friendly guy and is a great source of information

Thanks flyjump... I did try that but all I seem to find are lessons just outside of london on beaches. I was hoping to get some lessons somewhere more central. Will try again tho..

I can't remember the name, but i know that there is a school that is situated somewhere in london. The fellow and his mate were out here at NABX this year.

Does anybody from NABX remember the names of the two buddies that made the american flag kite? It was one of those dudes that ran the kite school from london

Kieron is one of the guy that made the flag
have you thought about registering to Kitecrowd.co.uk and ask them?

Sorry if this post is a little late, but just for the record I think you are looking for KiteVibe (http://www.kitevibe.com/) He teaches in Richmond Park.

Another option is Boarderline kite school (http://www.learntopowerkite.com/) , they are located in Cmaber Sands which is just under 2 hours from London but may be worth the drive. Can't beat the beach.

Or there is Mark Bashford (http://www.mjbkites.co.uk/) who teaches in North London and is a great instructor as well.

I think mark is the guy that I met, I could be wrong though

Thank you!!! All things going to plan, we are gonna do a little excursion to the beach to board with Boarderline - Lee, the guy who runs it, is trying to arrange a mini bus for us! Otherwise Mark from Kitevibe will cut us a great deal. Thank you for all your help guys! Really appreciated.

Be sure and link us to the footage. A gaggle of beginers in the heart of London sounds like something I want to see!
