I thought i would say "HI"
Hi all
As im new to this site i would say " HI "
My name is Sean and im from Peterborough, england, Uk.
I'm 36 years young 
I have been flying for about a year or so.
I have a 4.9m fusion, 3m cyclone, and 1.6m delta stunt kite.
I also have a abush board.
I have been TRYING to learn boarding in about 3 days with about 6 hours per day weather permiting.
And yes in still learning not to fall over when i redirect my kite to the other way.
Smile be happy

Greetings, Sean!
I'm also 30-something and just getting started at kite landboarding!
Wind conditions here have been flaky at best, but I'm hoping to get going on the board with my 8m Synergy for the first time today.
Good luck and keep up posted on your progress!
My Kites: {Peter Lynn Synergy 15m} {LF Havoc 10m} {Flexifoil Blade III 8.5m} {LF Havoc 8m} {HQ Beamer IV 2m}

Hi
At the moment the winds around here are to strong for my skill level with my board so i'm only going out in 10-13mph winds.
At the mo they are about 16+ so i have to wait a bit and read the weather site alot and cross my fingers.
It dont help i have a other half and 2 young kids 3 & 4 years old.
They do like to nag when i want to go out on my own to fly ect...
But i'll keep going out and learning more and more as time gose on.
I'll keep you all updated as and when i can.
Smile be happy

Many thanks for the welcome.
I dont have any pics for now as i need my other half to come to take them 
I have found some others that fly near me i have seen them fly a large delta wing about 2-3m ish
so could get to sort pics out for me.
I'll have to ask them.
I did take my kids and other half to the field to fly a bit but she did not do to well.
my kids have a 1line POS 75p kite from asda they like to fly.
