I thought kitesurfing was cool because you only had to carry a small board and a big backpack with your kite in it..but now
if you also need to carry pieces of wood, pipes, hammer, nails, and god knows what

****ing kiteflyers!!!!............hey laurie(seabreeze boss?) you sent me an email about my behaviour on the kite forum.mate they usually start the crap why cant i react and tell them to get stuffed..its a free country!.....POLAKOW should be Prime Minister!
you guys are on the east coast aren't you? Can't you just feel the urge to attach a chickenloop, bar, and lines to your harness and boost in our regular 12knots of natures eastcoast sheer ooooozing fury?!
If someone will donate a 12m kite, i'm more than happy to get into it!
note: the key word here is donate
I am still poor
I wish we could move the Goldcoast to Geraldton or Lancelin ![]()
queensland water temperature =
, but queensland wind = poo
and I'd give anything to feel some dry-heat again

i agree with you leski my friend
waves=windsurf
no waves=kitesurf
there is nothing more boring than windsurfing on flat water
i fell asleep once while heading out and ended up on rotto
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
check out the jump ramp in the background
damn i wanna hit that!
No you got it wrong fish. I think Leski knows as I do. Wind and waves = windsurf. No wind and waves = surf. No wind no waves = do something else i.e. mt bike. Kite surfing is gay. There is no time to do a fag sport like kiting.
Amen
Fish, not everybody has the balls to go wave sailing. Some of us are chickens who find the flat stuff a bit easier on the nerves.I'm sure I'm not the only one here who likes to go fast on flat water.
what I mean is anytime there's waves (wind or not) you've got to be out there
and then if there's really no waves at all and it is windy...well then maybe kitesurfing is still a cheap way of wakeboarding.![]()
the ramp in the background?? I see a wooden fence with some plastic pipes on it![]()

Hey rosey you little pest, you say "grow some balls"...um, why do you always talk up sailing at nobbies but we never see you out there? stop sailing the lake and sail where you claim to sail...

peto you are right, i dont sail at nobbies enough
im only 14 so its a bit hard to get in there when parents are at work, and i live a 5 minute walk from the point so i sail there..went to nobbys yesterday though, wasnt much wind though...but i dont remember talkin up always sailen there[}:)]...o well, dont want to fight
oh no haircut, freestyle's out
... (see my proposal on windsurfing qld forum and responses if interested).
Mkseven finally you see the light.
Hey Fish you obviously were riding a wave board on flat water to nod off. Try it on a slalom board at 42 knots riding the fin on the edge of disaster, Then come back and say its boring.![]()

Yeah, what Vando said goes double for me. Anyway it aint exactly flat @ Manly and when you're fully lit on a flighty modern slalom, it's enough to get some adrenalin pumping.
Don't get me wrong, you wave dudes have my greatest respect. It's just awesome to see huge airtime backloops and double forwards, but it's all just a bit too much for me.
Vando you know I dont have a problem with slalom/speed. It's just you're missing out on half of the sport.
And not many people can push a slalom board to 42knots.
Mark its not that i dont like freestyle its just where we sail is more suited to slalom.Besides i still have more tricks up my sleeve than you.![]()
