Hey, new to kiting :)
Just posting to say hi to the forum  Decided on a whim to try something new,
and kite sports caught my eye, done a bit of reading around and decided to give it a go. Just bought a radsail aztec 4m to get started on. Done afair
amount of board sports in the past, (mainly downhill longboarding and windsurfing) and would like to be in the water by the summer! :wee:
Also wondering if theres anyone here from Bournemoth/Poole area of the UK? :roll: |
