I think the poo stance comes from having to hold so much power through the legs that a seat harness is better, and then you need a big range for sheeting what can be big kites.
Maybe in future the powerline will not go through the bar but straight to the harness hook and the bar will be free so you can lean out more and hold more power.
At the moment some have a seperate depower rope they can grab to allow them a better stance, so they have one hand steering the bar and the other sheeting the kite.

I cant help feeling anytime someone talks about giving more than 100%, that they need a good slap.

Great vid Eneour, Thanx for posting it =)

There is nothing like the feeling of racing upwind on a raceboard, it would be awesome to be in a race with that many others.

Daunting yes, but awesome.

how are the numbers shaping up for the nationals, will we see 20 riders racing or 50?

will you have gear requirements for racing eg helmets, jackets etc?
