There was and advertisement in a local shipping magazine for deck hands who must have kiting experience and very strong muscles.Probably some ploy to get a few kitters to see the "golden rivet".
it wont be long until there is an international maritime disaster, when the ship under kite and the ship powered by the giant neil pryde sail, collide when they are both on the same wave. both skippers maintain they had right of way
2 kiters came out at Long Reef on Sunday. They did stay away from the main break where everyone was sailing. I did notice one guy had long white baggy pants on, I dont get it!!!!!!!!!
Neither do I. I assume its about "cool". There is no accounting for fashion. I just think of it as fun and temporary, but its not that much fun is it. A mistake perhaps. Yeah I dont get it.
That kite will be so slow that you've have to start sending the kite 1/2hr before you wanted to jump. It would be hard to time that with a nice wave. Probably nice and floaty though...
