From left to right, thats the Access2, Frenzy07 and then the Manta. There are plenty more of these shots at KiteGallery.net
Take a look around the gallery and why not add your own photos in the Viewers Section
Checkout our UK 7 Day Tide Forecast on KiteATB, it’s still being tested and feel free to feed back to me on rasga@KiteATB.co.uk, a big thanks to Matt (aka gradiation) for his hard work in helping getting it all sorted.
There are a few known IE/FF bugs to do with the popup on the graph. Feel free to feedback any others to me, and due to a technical issue its English Ports only. . .i’ll update you when the full UK database is implimented.

Slob The Slob is a grab done with the leading hand on the toeside, between the nose and binding, this means that the kite has to be redirected forwards with the trailing hand whilst hooked in. |

|
Crail The Crail is done with the trailing hand on the toeside, between the nose and binding, this means its a bit of a confusing and hard grab to do whilst flying the kite, the kite needs to be redirected and the trailing hand has to cross the body. |
|
|
|
|
Tailgrab The Tailgrab is quite possibly the easiest grab to do, simple redirection of the kite with the leading hand, whilst grabbing the tail of the board with the trailing hand. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nuclear The Nuclear is done with the trailing hand, between the tail and the back foot, this is another easy grab but don’t forget to redirect the kite and watch out incase your hand skims the wheel as you might get a friction burn. |

|
Method The Method is probably the trick which can be tweaked most and also one of the easiest, grab the heelside edge with either hand, redirect the kite with the other hand, put a big grin on your face and look stylish. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Palmer The Palmer is similar to the Nuclear, just use your front hand between the nose and front foot on the heelside edge and bring your trailing hand across the bar to redirect. |
|
|
|
|
Meloncholy The Meloncholy is possibly one of the harder grabs to do with the kite, for one thing the kite must be redirected with the trailing hand, and secondly the leading hand has to go around the back of the boarders legs and catch the heelside edge between the tail and back foot – quite a distance on a longer board. |
