North Gonzales kiteboard for sale

Tallpaul — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:16:17 GMT

2009 North Gonzales for Sale.
151x41. £200 including UK Mainland postage
North Spiel - "The North Gonzales is a true all-terrain machine. Medium width and soft forgiving flex the North Gonzales is a great free-ride board with plenty of comfort for cruising and jumping.
It is a cruisey twin-tip at heart, great for every-day riding and comes in 3 sizes 135, 143, 151.

The Unique design features such as rounded rails, soft flex and special carving fins makes the North Gonzales a great board for getting up and riding as soon as possible, the 151cm is a great light wind board but can also handle the heat – as personally tested in 30knots!

The control is further enhanced by a wood sandwich construction and soft flex characteristics which seem to let the board handle the conditions if the wind picks up and also take soft landings on big jumps.
Small swept fins give you endless grip and very little drag to rip high speed carves in flat water and waves and the new footpads are very comfortable and also easily adjustable.
The North Gonzales is a great freeriding board, even in the toughest conditions, the North Gonzales makes riding easier and lets you focus on just getting out and riding!"

My bit - Have owned the board from new , bought in May 2009, and progressed really well on it. It's a great allround board and has got me from novice on the water through to doing some intermediate stuff. Only selling as I got a deal on a new board. Board is in VERY good condition there are a couple of light scratches on the rails and a very slight discoloration by the fin screws on one fin where I had a leash attachment point. It's all very minimal stuff. Pads and footstraps are comfy and the board handles chop well. Despite it's size it doesn't feel like an overly big board.

Hi all

Phantom — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:35:02 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've just registered on your website and am interested in flying my kite again after some years.
I have a kite which maybe no-ones heard of now as it's fairly old, but it was made by a company called Hiflyers which I don't think are around now and it's called a Phantom. It's a delta wing with a 9ft wingspan.

I'd like to go over to Epsom Downs, but am a little nervous and shy as I haven't flown it for so long.

I'm female, not as young as I used to be! and don't want to get into the buggy stuff, does that matter?

Karen

The God(s) Of Wind

Horley_Kite_Nut — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 15:13:59 GMT

The God Of Wind

cor blimey , the next time you want to give the god of wind a prayer for good wind , there's a few to choose from (if one don't wann'a answer ya' prayers , then try another one lol :D:) :-

Aeolus, the ruler of the winds in Greek mythology.

Anemoi, the Greek wind gods Boreas, Notus, Eurus, and Zephyrus.

Ehecatl, one of the creator gods in Mesoamerican creation myths documented for pre-Columbian central Mexican cultures, such as the Aztec.

Fūjin, the Japanese wind god and one of the eldest Shinto gods. According to legend, he was present at the creation of the world and first let the winds out of his bag to clear the world of mist.

Njord, in Norse mythology, is the god of the wind. There are also four dvärgar (Norse dwarves), named Norðri, Suðri, Austri and Vestri, and probably the four stags of Yggdrasil, personify the four winds, and parallel the four Greek wind gods.

Pazuzu, the demon of the South-West wind and son of the god Hanbi in Assyrian and Babylonian mythology.

Stribog is the name of the Slavic god of winds, sky and air. He is said to be the ancestor (grandfather) of the winds of the eight directions.

Vayu, the Hindu God of Wind, Hanuman's father.

Venti, the Roman gods of the winds, were essentially renamed Anemoi, borrowed from the Greeks.
