Are you spending your day in Drag 
Feel like youve got a big ' L ' (loser) sunburnt on ya forehead (lost board) 
Im not Pimpin anyone - unless they kite in drag 
Ocean Rodeo make a 'Go-Joe' blow up attachment (not doll 
) that bolts to kiteboard handles. It self rites the board if you stack it, then is blown downwind to you - while you sought your kite out !!!!!!! It also has a Dayglo colour so it can be seen for miles. I bought one after nearly losing mine 3 x
If the wind is strong, itll get to you faster & vice versa. Ive used it in 40knots & dorpped the board on take off, landing bout 60ft away from it !
Instead of spending the rest of the day dragging to find a board upsidedown (thats if you can see it of course) I just waited a few minutes untill it 'Parked itself' in front of me - Sweeeeet !
Have had alot of comments from people that they would like to try bigger jumps - but cant be Fkd goin after the board 20 - 50 times a day while learning
In W.A West Oz kiteboarding still sells them I think for $50, cheaper than a new board Huh
This by no means is a substitute for dragging skillz that should be polished anyway..
its more a time saver & visual contact when it goes pearshaped 
Can someone please post the vid clip for me (my 256k is too sloooooooow)
I hope this has been helpful, now jump HUGE n get some NUTs 
- Cheers
I agree with the thing in principle.
It seems to work well.
I'm not a regular member of the fashion police......but........
well..... i'll continue to drag through croc and jellyfish infested waters before i get one of those.
Sorry. I hate myself for it.
Perhaps a great idea for those in training (incl beginners)
lol Coll
Thats why we should all be doin Huge jumps - People only get eaten " IN " the water
Good gadget but still no substitute for upwind body dragging. It might on the surface look to be a good idea but ultimately is going to get in the way eventually and then you'll still need to be able to upwind body drag...
Hey London
did you not read the first post entirely 
Also for the ' few ' of you who like to ride Nukeing weather or overpowered,
youd agree that its quite difficult to see a board in white capping swell while your your barely holding ground let alone dragging 50ft upwind with a strong current !! wouldnt it be nice if it came chargeing downwind to you !
Not everyone is a Noob who loses a board
Ps It doesnt get in the way either, your feet stay in the straps !
