Most of you know me (or know of me)
I'm the daft west coast girl who got a wee radsail 2-line kite in July of 2006, and has been hooked ever since.
Quickly went from that to a 2.4m radsail which was my first 4-line kite, and from that to a 4m blade III (now theres a bit of a jump!) and a far-too-big 8.5m blade III.
Got rid of the 2.4 and the blades now, and flying Raptor II's. Also have a libre V-max buggy thats been modified so much its hardly recognisable.
I had intended to get into kiteboarding, but I have no balance, and Tom (flydad) let me have a go in his big buggy. Aha! :grin: Converted instantly! Luckily kiters are the friendliest, helpfullest bunch of people I've ever encountered, so with that and my naturally cheeky nature I managed to have whole days of borrowing nearly every buggy on the beach
Met a lot of very lovely people including mrbuggy, who has sort of adopted me - first he let me use his old home-made buggy (so I'd stop nicking his) then he persuaded me to buy my own buggy, which he must regret because it now lives in his garage
He also pretty much taught me how to control a buggy after Kev persuaded me to go for my licence and start racing, and I nearly killed myself attempting to do just that. (Then I nearly killed Owain in a race)
I've come on a bit now, I can just about fly a kite and control a buggy at the same time. Went from nowhere to overall 16th in last year's race series, and looking forward to this years
I'm the one with high-vis orange siderails and a suit to match.
Having a "deep end, both feet" philosophy is not the safest or most sensible way to go about life, but damn its fun
