Is this a broken pulley/bridle line? [}:)]

Well I am sure tonights episode will do nothing but label Kitesurfers and our sport as a dangerous and arrogant lot with no concern to the other beach goers! I look forward to the editing of the event and blown up sound track! I had my lines wrap around my bar at Woodies a couple of months ago its an experience I would rather put to bed.

Unfortunately for you guys you already have that label This will just confirm it for the rest of the population.

the mob goes wild....oh ohh



but who will be the regulator?



someone to keep it tight like that



a shogun named marcus stepped up to the plate. the new masiah



he was the one with the burning beard



in his arms he held a swollen goat



on realising the coming of the mesiah the crowd stood waited and exploded into pure rock fury.

cabrinha advise you to ride in 'suicide' mode because the bars have the override system giving you enough depower so that you cant even feel the kite anymore.
when you pull the safety or if you are unhooked and let go of the bar the bar will slide through to overide basically killing the kites power. also then your lines dont get tangled unlike if you put it on the outside line flagging system.

What happens when the bridle breaks.
Will the 'on lookers' be able to handle an overpowered kite?

Rev example.
What happens if the bridle the flagging line is connected to breaks?

Yeh sorry poleys, I'm just having fun. But you guys did hyjack the Kiteforum and start the pissing contest.

As per Lovely's question. The Cab would go into a deathloop. But if he had his bar in override then it prob wouldnt.

The rev's bridle is shown below. It flags from one of the centre lines so it would have to snap 3 bridle lines for the flagging system not to work.

Nine Pages??

last time i watched bondi rescue they had paris hilton in a bikini and not once did i see her nipple. so my guess is they will cut out a lot of the reality this time as well.
Also it must be hard being told where you can or can not kite.. up here we have a kiting population of about 5 and we kite where we want when we want. and any newcomers are always welcomed with a smile.(except peter lynn guys) we also have some epic spots that work in all conditions.. just today was out in 15-20 souwesters and it was butter glassy. we may have to pay 75 cent per litre for LPG and you cant go to the shop with getting stuck behind some hat wearing 90 year old doing 35 kph in a 60 zone but its a small price to pay for uncrowded beaches and bays.. there you go one step closer to 9 pages..
Ps just kidding about the peter lynn guys .. your all welcome.

I heard she doesnt have any!!

last picture I saw of Paris was getting out of a car without any nickers on

I'm going to record it on my DVD recorder so I can listen to the slap as he hits the wall in slow motion.

Also I can zoom in to catch that final look of desperation on his face as he accepts the inevitable,.. "this is going to f. ing hurt!"

(actually, I'm only joking, which I can because as it turns out, nothing much serious happened. If it did he would have my sympathy rather than my gales of laughter. I like it much better this way. )

Is anyone savvy enough to record it, and post the edited juicy bits on Youtube?

I hope the whole thing is a good shake up for kiting safety in Australia. Hopefully more kiters will think twice about where they are kiting, and maybe even test and understand their safety options before they need to use them. From the brief clip of the show it looks like Grant had 100's of meters to land his kite in, he had his leash attached in the close up when the lifeguard tells him to drop it, seems to have his cabrinha chicken loop attached to the spreader bar with a wichard shackle, spent much of the kitemare trying to undo the shackle instead of pulling the safety above the chicken loop. In general a complete kook out. Looking forward to it....

Maybe there are other kiters from "back in the day" who trust a wichard shackle over their kites quick release system? Get with the 21st century dinosaurs! All the gear, no idea.

Geeez! I've stumbled into the kiters forum again. I wonder if I can discreetly shuffle back into the windsurf forum without them noticing.
Last time a whole lot followed me back and gave our forum a good flogging.
With a bit of luck they're still on the after lunch nap.

(shuffle shuffle, step step step,,, run run,,, click, door slamming shut. Phew!)

LMAO!!!.....seems this is also bringing a few maybe wanna-be kiters out of the closet!!.....
