Alex Sanz was first to bring it to Oz. Not sure if that's him in that picture?

Pretty sure kitesurfing was invented by a windsurfer.

Bloke figured there just had to be a better way.

^^ bored windsurfers, who have now gone back to windsurfing.

Pic looks like a bell end, attached by rope to a parachute. Pretty good resemblance.

I don't understand how there are red thumbs punched out less than 3 hours ago but yet I get some message about a "red thumb free experience" when I try?
Admin please explain how that works?

I tried this in the early Eighties, but the "flights" were nothing compared to what you can do kitesurfing!!

Yes I remember seeing that in a windsurfing mag at the time, windsurfers wanted to get their ass off the water, but it didnt happen with this contraption, finaly kitesurfing is invented and the remaining crowd are sooks.

So its like evolution, the windsurfers are the Neanderthals, they were breed out and modern man still has 3% Neanderthal DNA.
Modern kitesurfers may retain 3% windsurfer DNA, but it would be better to breed it all out seriously, after a few days at Gnaraloo, they are a useless bunch.
