i have seen guys out kitesurfing. It looks slow and boring compared to windsurfing. Why would anyone kite when they could be windsurfing ?

pain don't hurt !

hey matressbuster ,
next time youre busting your matress with your boyfriend,
put your teeth back in , put your glasses on , look out the window down the beach at the boys boosting "60feet" while your fellow old men are bragging about thier "6 foot" jumps. You will now be suitably impressed !

you were fishing for a bite --- you got one

mattressbuster posted the same topic in the windsurfing section except bagging up windsurfing instead of kitesurfing.




White men can jump! (With the help of my 7m warrior.)

Mattressbuster i'm hearing you. Wheres the skill level in kiting,stinging teabaging or whatever they call itAnd like Mc fly says where are they when it gets to 25knots? Thumbs up to the poleboarders!

After 15years of windsurfing I gave it up 2 years ago for kiting, Windsurfing is great if you are able to get up to Gnarloo, anything else aroünd Perth is a waste of time.
Any one want some real cheap windsurfing gear?

Geeez why did you bring that one back from the dead, got a bit of a fright to see my old login pop up there

Just had a play with the history.
Available forum posts I could find only go back to 30/7/03.
The 'hornets nest' post above is dated 11/07/03 ??? and Im pretty sure it wasnt the first.
A bit of history lost in cyberspace somewhere there.

I seem to recall the forum starting earlier in 03 than July??? Maybe Feb or March??.
And I think the first post was from login 'shannon' of "FireaWAy" fame.

Reckon kiting owes a heap to the SB forum. Its such a big part of the game.
