In 15 years of windsurfing I have lost the following equipment:

1 pulley block
1 screw driver
1 outhaul

How come kiters seem to loose everything? Do you loose it whilst out kiting (eg you drop the board)?

(and yes i know that i am now going to loose my board on the weekend!)

its a bit easier to spot a 100Litre poleboard than a 1300mm long and 6mm thick kiteboard when you become separated from it on the water. you get dragged a long way from the board sometimes, the sail and board are not connected.
also we are not rool bright ay, we cant even work out that boardies belong INSIDE the wetsuit

It's hard to disagree with that, but Captain Crash is certainly onto something...
Our kiteboarding friends are not just looking for their lost boards but also...
Bars, Lines, Fins, Pumps, Kites, Harnesses and Hampters !?!

What are you guys smokin' before you hit the water

Oh my....

I guess that's why the IOC may have trouble recognising kitesurfing as an offical olympic sport
