Just wondering if there is some type of scale to determine your average kitekkook to a megakook?


Obviously boardies over wetsuit would make you a kitekook, and trying to driftlaunch with your lines wound up and get tangled and dragged up the sand dunes would take you to a megakook.


Is there some sort of kooky rules we can apply to our fellow kiters to determine exactly where on the kook a meter they sit??? LOL

Wind surfers who ram kite surfers are definitely "MEGAKOOKS!!!!!

Well you're one of them, that's a start.

In terms of a scale, there is only a kite d***head or a kite dude. The difference is the one that listens to advice, learns with integrity and a sense of passion for it, as opposed to the one that is arrogant, selfish and thinks he knows it all and worse - tells everyone about it or shows off near the shore break.

Zen vs Punk.

Dude,

Was the first part of your response really necessary?
What I don't like about this sort of banter, and any similar banter on the internet, is that the recipient cannot look you in the eye and gauge whether or not it is in fact banter, you also cant nudge him and make a stupid giggling sound to convince him you're pulling the piss. Just a thought.....


Second part I totally agree with.

I wear a second pair of boardies on my head to keep the sun off...I heard wearing a full brimmed sun hat makes me a kook does wearing a second pair of boardies on my head also make me a kook or is that only in WA.

According to kazan - I'm a kook for putting my kite into a sports bag.

Im not putting my kites into any bag lately, just straight into the car - I've progressed to mega kook.

Easy to spot a mega-kook.
It takes them 2 mates and 10 minutes to unwind their lines. Move upwind of them NOW......
