Nebs,
That's about as radical as kiting gets too.

Ba ha ha ha!! What a tool hangin on and skiing behind the ship.

Bet the poleys were thinking "Man those kiters always get to do heaps cool stuff we can't!"

Or alternatively "Man those kiters always make absolute kn ****heads outta themselves!!"

If you listen carefully, you can hear him yelling...
"quick, rig some more sails, I'm a bit underpowered back here!"

------------------

Perhaps a still shot of this one would make a good piccie for a 'caption' competition?

^^^^ that **** pissed me off. Boring...
First of all, its "wakeboarding" behind a trimaran, not kiteboarding, and second, all that effort with the helicopter for filming and support boats and they don't even get their boards off the water wtf???

The rope attachment looked pretty high on the trimaran, and it looked like the thing had a decent wake, how about some rolls and raleys at least boys!

Boy that boat gets an amazing turn of speed from what looks like 5 knots of wind.

Have a look what they do with more wind.


and what happens when the limit is passed.


Forget about water skiing BEHIND a tall ship. The SHIP is water skiing.

Bugger, I can't get any of the you-tube clips for some reason today. They are just a blank square with a tiny coloured square in the top left corner. Anyone know how to fix this - system restore?

That's the attitude. Tires are worn on my car so I'm looking at a new one.

errr????????
What I meant was - is my current inability to view the you tube links due to an affliction caused by either my computer downloading some update automatically or my daughter buggering around with the settings. Either way, is there an obvious, easy way to fix it, or should I use the system restore function and restore the settings to 2 days ago, when everything was working hunky dory?

Could be either of what you mentioned. If your daughter's computer habits are like my daughter's,.......hmmmm. Is password protection worth the extra harassment???

It is certainly not a Seabreeze issue as I am getting them quite OK. Is your OS XP or Vista. With Vista Pro there is the option of "downgrading" to XP. Not possible with Home Basic I believe.

My desktop is a Dell about 4 years old with XP Home Ver. 2002 updated to service pack 3. I think I have done a system restore only once in that time and that was early in the piece. It is a handy option though.

I would check Internet Explorer settings first or even restore defaults there. I am currently using "The World Browser". It uses the IE engine but works better I think and certainly seems to be faster. Just google "The World Browser" for a download site.

Hope you get it sorted as You Tube is a real fun part of being online these days.
Cheers Cisco

Geez you poleys are uptight! Anyone see the wink or was your sail in the way? Greeny is a funny lad and would have know I was having a jibe back at im. Some of you poleys need to remove it. Get it?
