Chris,
 
I'm glad to hear you're getting (or getting back ) into flying kites.  However,
much has
changed over the years... 
Kitesurfing can be dangerous.  Search on 'kiteforum.com' for 'fatalities' and
you'll see what
I mean.
 For your safety (and the safety of others) and your enjoyment,
I recommend that you take lessons first.  Your life is valuable!  During the
lessons, many of your
questions will be answered, and the money you spend will be well worth it...
 
 
Have fun!

Subject: [ksurf] NAISH X4 16M KITESURING KITE controle setup H E L P plz


HI i was wandering if any one could help me i just got a naish x4 16m
(off my other half as a prezzie) and although im a old hand at kite
flying having one of the first peter powle stunt kites (about 33 years
ago lol)and one of the original flexifoil 10 footer and nassa wing for
my buggy (slow but powerful) and a few foils in between i understand
the dynamics of the wind but NEVER used a bar for controlling a kite
before.
TO THE QUESTION :
can any one recommend a decent control bar and harness for this
kite(in the cheap ish bracket)as it has not got one. (kite only).
And why you would recommend it.
am i better of with 4 or 5 line set up or even if i can use a 5 line
set up. i have explored the net for answers but this only confuses the
issue further.
it all started with me geting a side winder board out of my local
paper about 7 years ago for 10£.
but i want to give it the best of British try any how, before deciding
to go for the mega bucks dogs nuts thing, and spending a years wage on
a set up lol. any advice at this stage would be good.
thanks in advance
stone monkey
chris
