well lads looks like I will have to say goodbye to this side of the forum soon, im heading down the forum list one notch.

Pencilled in an order today for some flying plastic stuff with really long stringy things.

If you see me in my regular haunts, please try not to throw sand at me or let my tyres down.

In the words of the Marrickville Mauler, "I loves ya all"

seeya on the water soon, ill be the one with the yellow boardies with pink dots.

wow nasty stuff, looks like a night out at Swell tavern!

Actually I think I will still buy some high wind windsurfing gear, maybe just 1 board, 1 sail, 1 mast, for 25kn plus days, that would be a good mix!

as he put his boardie over his wettie i could tell from the telltail saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth that there was no saving him from the inevitable.



the best thing is that it is just another skill that he has under his belt'

check out the shadows!

Congratulations... How could you change from the best water sport there is on this forum!!! Kiting Windsurfing

I'm sure the regulars you sail with, will sail past you lot slower faster than you kiting and will have a chuckle...

Now u can teach me how to windsurf... You never know... I might just 'change sides too'...

plus I drive a SmartCar and cant fit the windsurfing gear in, the kiting kit fits a bit better, I only have to leave the passenger window down.

Im guessing while the windsurf boys are goig faster Ill be able to look down from about 10m in the air and watch them below.

Im actually kind of done with the speed thing, jumping is my thing, so i cant wait to get my boost on.

However I have been tagged speed for speed by a few kiters at Shearwater before, that does suprise me.

Its all a big adventure and i love a challenge, nothingh worse than sitting in a rut.

Cant wait!

plus I drive a SmartCar

Oh my god...


How much is it for a "go"? (Greeny?) I might be kite-curious. I'm just not sure a kite has as much personality as windsurf gear. It is not a compact little package that looks good just laying on the beach. It has all these long dangly bits. And they don't so much jump as fly like a chook.

How was your sail Mal? More info needed.

Still, in the surf in light winds you can't complain can you? Flat water I can get planing with most kites on a 7.2, which is all I need for a cruisy summer afternoon

a good skill to have in your what ??? 'nal.....

thats pretty damn good but.....Id like to see him land it and continue kitesurfing on the water with the same rig.

First you desert the wiggles and hand your yellow shirt in now its the sail board, i did note you said you might get some high wind windsurfing kit so you have left that door open. All the best though.
