The Aztec is RADSAILS  new power kite for beginners. Fast and easy to use, the Aztec will provide a great power feeling without the huge push of the new RS range. Perfect for both children and adults, this starting range grants the whole control and the easy use that today’s most demanding beginners claim.

Just like the rest of the range, it counts with a kite killer safety system that allows releasing the kite without loosing it in case of trouble.

Aztec kites come in their exclusive rucksacks which include built-in speakers that will enable you to listen to your favourite music while flying.

We tested the 4m Aztec and found it to have great flying characteristics, Nice handles,A great speaker bag and also can be flown on a 2 line bar.

Wow what an event !

Swansea Bay delivered big time to give us sunshine, showers and big winds !

From friday through to monday Swansea bay, south wales delived strong winds to the very large crew of Pros, amateurs and spectators who battled the elements to see the UK’S finest kite crew showing what they do best. We were even lucky to get a show from 5 times world champion Aaron Hadlow who had come to support the event. In 35-40knot wind the World champion showed the large beach crowd various moves from his repoitoir landing in only a foot of water with cat like ability. The event has really inspired Swansea’s kiting community.

Gower kiteriders who are based on Swansea bay have seen an increase in people wanting to get into kitesports. From basic lots of fun powerkiting, to kite landboarding and kite buggying and then into the water with our ’2 day learn to kitesurf’ course

  

Fingers crossed the event will be held in Swansea bay next year as part of The BKSA super series event locations.

Progression Kite Landboarding Beginner is primarily aimed at people with some existing kite flying experience, whether that’s as a kitesurfer, power kiter or existing novice kite landboarder. We aim to give you all the background on the sport, safety, locations and conditions before getting up and riding on the board and slowing down and stopping. Then we’ll refine your stance, building your confidence so you can stay upwind consistently. Then its on to sliding, riding toeside and your first turns, before working on carving turns. Finally we take you through every aspect of jumping – from the absolute basics, small jumps, improved technique for those hugh boasting jumps, then a few grabs and finally aerial transitions.

Progression is all about helping you learn safer and quicker but with a deeper understanding of the core techniques, so you can continue to improve and have fun. A Progression DVD is not something to watch from start to finish, but a tool to dip in and out of as you improve, ready to give you the confidence to tackle the next step with ease.
For Power Kiting enthusiasts, Kite Landboarding is the obvious next step, taking your existing kites and skill, adding a board and giving you the opportunity for speed, distance and jumps. Progression Kite Landboarding Beginner will help you understand how to adapt your kite skills to those required to power a landboard and all the technique so you handle the wheels under your feet.
With lots of large open beaches on the Gower peninsula ideal for kite landboarding and kiteboarding why not introduce yourself to the world of kitesports. Gower Kite landboarders have courses from an hour to 3 hours to get you comfortable with a powerkite and ready to move onto the kite mountainboard.The Progression Fatsand DVD’s is an excellent tool to watch alongside your kite land boarding progression. see our courses and equipment sale here

For Mountain Boarders here’s your chance to boost massive airs and you won’t need a hill or any ramps! Just get yourself a kite, learn the basic kite skills and Prog KLB Beginner will get you up and riding, helping you change your stance and board technique to adapt to the needs of kite landboarding

Thought Id write a brief piece on one of our best sellers the Peter lynn Impulse powerkite

You want to get into some serious kiteboarding, landboarding or snowkiting action, so let’s get your kite flying skills sorted quickly. With kite powered board sports, you need to control your kite and board at the same time. The easiest way to learn these sports is to get your kite flying skills sorted first, rather than jumping on the board straight away. You need to get a feel of how the kite responds throughout the whole wind window, where the kite produces the most power or the least and how to steer your kite when wanting to get onto the board.
The Impulse is the perfect trainer kite for future kite powered board sport riders, allowing easy control with a control bar and a solid but not too aggressive pull across the wind window.

The kite gives a stable predictable pull and has various features some of which are a Rock solid construction, combined with specifically chosen materials for top skin, lower skin and profiles, to ensure maximum durability.
- Velcro bridle loop to minimize the chance of bridles getting tangled when packing the kite.
- Velcro outlets in the wingtips to remove any sand from the kite with ease.

Package
- Impulse kite
- Impulse Bag
- 2-line control bar with safety leash
- Dyneema Flying line set
- Peter Lynn 2-line bridled foil kite manual

comes in 2 sizes 2m and 3m
