If you still have that bar I might be interested in buying it for my 16m Raven...
Know your roots people!
Would have been around 1998-99.
The bar is an original Kiteski reel bar I got from Cory Roeseler in 1997 before Wipika was on the market. I lost it, along with alot of other gear, when our UN house was trashed and burned down in Dili after the elections in 1999.
I sold my other Kiteski rigs years ago to a Japanese enthusist.
The kite is a two-line 6.5m Fone that I bought off Raphael Salles when we were the first to kite Margaret River in late 1998.
The board is one of my custom WinDesigns 6'3" five fin weapons - have to laugh how the sport has come full circle back to directional boards again!
98??? Man that's a lonooooong time ago.
Bet the likes of Hadlow, Langeree and have the guys on the form weren't even born yet.
No, no reskeckba to Youngie and the the old school crew!!! Those look super hard, super scary and impossible to fly.
Was actually trying to lay into the know it all wipper snappers.
Youngie, please don't hunt me down with a 5 fin weapon!!!!!
Yeah cheers Youngie!
Nice to know that while Robbie and the Frogs were just starting to make LEIs useful there were pioneers here in WA as well.
