I was at the beach the other day and this dude was flying a one line kite, nearly murdering people sunbaking. What's worse he behind the flag area on the beach. To make matters worse this arrogant smart arse 5 year old was laughing the whole time.
This types of mucho men will get the sport banned.
What kite was it? I need to blame it on a company.
I really want to appeal to your common sense and ask that you remove this thread about dangerous kiting practices, it could be detrimental if say a member of the public were to read it. It could get the sport banned and that's not good for the industry, eeer i mean the kiters.

.... this was basiclythe summary of a 3 hour meeting with the hgfa last week
who red thumbs this?!?! and i know saying the word red thumb means i earn 10 more but seriously were you at that ****ing meeting??!? the one where we spent one and a half god damned hours watching 50+ year old men try to convince eachother how social media works and how to turn it into a positive force for the organisation rather then a negative which allows french and italian pilots to go throwing themselves off our hills willy nilly with no respect to the local rules/airspace restrictions etc? because that meeting will NEVER leave me. i spent half my childhood laying in bed thinking if i turned my head the boogeyman/witch would devour me and now the boogeyman is back AS that meeting! its no doubt going to be me sitting in a shed with a bunch of other old farts ****ing whineing on about 3d real life simulation brain neuron pulseing book or whatever **** were jacked upto in the future. and it is inevitable, i can not turn my head. it is going to happen when i do.

But if the sport gets banned, it would cull the numbers and we would be outlaws.
Could we form a gang and call ourselves "rebels"?
need to call ourselves alanga so when in the news they say the gang alanga or alanga gang the general public just has a giggle and doesnt take us as a serious threat.
I'm just concerned about whether or not there is too much sugar being fed to people flying one line kites.

Did you chop his line?
I tried, but he was running with it as there was no wind.
Interesting technique though. I dont hed been kiting for more than 5 years.
Hahaha.. this thread is spot on.
I started my kiting adventure on a one-line diamond kite my dad made me, and later made many myself.
Ahh the memories
Young punk!.....i bet he was wearing his board shorts on the outside of his pull-ups as well?
