How do kite racing tactics differ from that of sailing boats? For example how does the water at the mark rule translate to course racing when you have 30m of lines on your kite? Would you use similar start line tack ticks and positions on a kite board to where you would be on a yacht?

How do you know if you're possessed by satan?
Are there any physiological signs to look out for?

Is a no brainer something you actually do because you have no brains or
something you fail to do because you have none?

How does it affect the starts when the wind gets down to say 8 knots and 6 knots.

Why does mineral water that has "trickled through mountains for centuries" go out of date next year?

When you tried the recessed cutouts on the underside of the rear corners of the board, how did it affect the board's handling?

Can one size of board really be versatile enough to win any race, or will there be a number of boards registered in future by each competitor? Or will there be light wind specialists and high wind specialists with one board to suit some conditions?

Like in many other sports, do you think the Olympic gold medal will not be the ultimate prize, but the World Championship will?

Do people who race kites take internet forums more seriously than the average punter?

a) Is he officially campaigning for Rio 2016?
b) Does he think the new race format (direct elimination medal series, etc.) is a good idea? Why/why not?
c) If kiting becomes a mixed event in Rio, would he rather team up with his sister or with another girl?
d) Any heartache that windsurfing got the boot from the Olympics?
e) On a scale of 1 to 10, how much does he like/dislike the IKA?

f) When will he start racing the 1kg heavier Mike's Lab production board? Does he mind having to switch to lesser-performing equipment for the sake of the Olympic Formula Kite box rule?

You had 4 goes at being funny and failed all of them.

Cruising round looking for a new area where you might be welcome?

I must be special I can call you a dickhead without being censored.

There I did it again.

Otherwise maybe the powers that be have a special rule allowing swearing *at you*.

the 64 thousand dollar question? Is the world champ 2011/2012 coming to Melbourne ISAF World cup Dec 2012...... Now that would be cool..... And even cooler if he drags along number 2 2012 Adam C.

Love to get smashed by the world champs

And then a quick flight to the L2L the fastest 19km on a kite on the planet the very next weekend in Perth

Hi, am curious..can't the bar be much closer to your body when racing? it looks like
most course racers lean forward at speed than outwards and seems very tiring?
