Mutiny Test Day

We were just about to head off to the beach for a session with some of the new kit we have. Sarah still had not had chance to try the Wainman kites and was desperate for a full day on the water.
Just as we were leaving for the beach with some mates DHL rocked up in there van....Bingo!

Yup the new Mutiny kites arrived just in time for a sweet session in 25mph + winds. It was a great chance to try our new kites back to back...Mutiny/Wainman/Genetrix/Zeeko
One thing that was clear is that there is no one kite that is better than the next, each person who tried them had there own favorite.

The Mutiny loves to be flown with spirit and rewards you with smooth effortless performance, the jumps were extremely lofty & very floaty.The kite flys very far forward in the window and is strikingly narrower than many of the new delta kites available from many brands now.The higer aspect shape of this kite helps with it's impressive upwind performance. Kiteloops were....well, huge! Can't wait to really spend some more time dialing in to the kites.

The attention to detail on the kites is simply stunning, this kite really is of the highest quality possible.
We spent a good 3 hours giving the kites a good thrashing in winds that peaked at over 30mph at times and loved every minute of it both on the TT and the surfboards.

The wind is forecast to blow all this week so we will get plenty more chances to try the kites in decent winds. If you want to try one of these awesome new kites get in touch with us and we will sort you out asap.

Wainman Smoke

We've managed to snag a few sessions now on the Wainman Rabbit kites and I have to say I'm absolutely loving them. Super easy to use and plenty of power when you need it but also huge depower too.

And they look cool too!

Rest Bay Porthcawl 8th January

What a sweet day in South Wales today. The sun was out and there was a great mix of old timers plus new beginners down mixing it up.

Zenith Ocean Voyages

Blast are super stoked to have hooked up big time with the guys at Zenith Ocean Voyages. I will be spending a month Teaching (and lots of scubbing the decks so I've been told) from next month.

I met the owners Ged and Susy a few years back while kitesurfing abroard and have watched them work hard ever since to start there new venture together. This is not just a dream it truly is a passion and bloody hard graft too. Ged has already worked on Charter Yachts for many years and they are both super keen kitesurfers too.

I will post up here and on our blog updates whenever I can get wifi. It's planned that we will be in some wavespots during the trip.

They also have a planned visit for Naish Pro rider and photog to be with us for a week too so it will be cool to report on this from an regular kitesurfers point of view. No idea yet who this will be.

Exciting times at Blast Kiteboarding....................

BOOM!

Rest Bay 4th Jan

We had a sweet session on the 4th Jan after a very long no wind period! It was great conditions to try out the Wainman Rabbits we took stock of before Xmas.
If you'd like to demo a Wainman Kite let us know and we'll arrange it for you.

Blast Morocco Trip

Thats right we have another trip going to Morocco staying in the same hotel as previous trips. The hotel is bang opposite the beach which itself is a great spot for all abilities, offering flat water or waves.
The trip is planned for August as this is one of the windiest times of the year for Morocco.
