Sorry Dustin, but it had to be said:

How come Naish kites continue to use that crap octopus system that gives the following BAD attributes to their kites:
- Makes fixing a bladder impossible for a novice, and intimidating for an experienced.
- Requires zips to be placed on each individual strut, which break and add weight.
- Requires one way valves that usually stuff up after about 1 season.
- One way valves that overpressurise the stuts on impact and blow out zips.
- One way valves that make deflating the kite take just as much time as standard inflation.

I had these issues on my Raven II and I guess nothing has been done about it.

On another piss take, have Naish redesigned their bridles so that the lines the pulleys run on can be replaced instead of replacing the whole bridle?

What's the difference between straps and bindings?

Boots make your appendage look larger. While real bindings simply make your ride better, straps cause shrinkage of the nuts.
These are well known facts, no need to bother Robby with boring bits.

sorry to disappoint sebol, but Robby has gone back to windsurfing! He still likes kiting in the lighter winds but takes to the windsurfer when the conditions are right.

why does he try and keep his hair?

Sorry to disappoint zola, but Robby never stopped windsurfing !

Your comment "when the conditions are right." sums it up.

I would go windsurfing sometimes too, if I lived in Hawaii,and also already owned a Global Windsurfing company !

My question is:

How do you get psyched up to windsurf/kitesurf in European locations when it is obviously freezing ?? ( I read once that you take some Aspirin or Panadol first! Is this true ??

Do you know long division?
If I'm driving my car at the speed of light and I turn on the headlights what happens?
What if I switch to high beam?

It's my understanding that the 09 naish kites have velcro reinforcements over the zips, so no more blowouts.
I thought deflating was quicker as there are no stoppers in the valves.

Does it work out cheaper to put Premium petrol in your car?

i cant use anything else

Four men were in a boat on the lake. The boat turns over, and all four men sink to the bottom of the lake, yet not a single man got wet! Why?

Because a single man didn't get wet. Four men got wet together.

or they wer all married

When can you add two to eleven and get one as the correct answer?

11 AM plus 2 hours = 1 PM.

A black dog stands in the middle of an intersection in a town painted black. None of the street lights are working due to a power failure caused by a storm. A car with two broken headlights drives towards the dog but turns in time to avoid hitting him. How could the driver have seen the dog in time?

its daytime

What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries?

a towel

If nothing sticks to teflone, why does teflone stick to a pan...

Ive got a torch 3 and havnt had a problem with it ever

Hmm, this is getting tricky....long division!!

But I can make two comments...

Torches:

I have had Torches, and still do. The octopus system has never failed on mine, but I do wish they would do away with it - it seems like asking for trouble. Normally, the only people who operate on things with all the little tubes on the inside have to go to med school for 7 years first. And even then, they sometimes don't stick the valves back on right.

Robby's windsurfing?

Well, he is a pretty great kiter, but that's not too hard...as we all know, kitesurfing is pretty simple. You just put your togs on, pop your teeth in the glass beside the bed for safekeeping and then off you go.

Windsurfing, on the other hand, is like relativising gravity in souffle form, (without the eggs) whilst crocheting Irish lace. And Robby is one of the best at it that there is. He pulls s**t in Maui that makes most people's wees go back up.

In terms of kiting, his skills might place him in a group of thousands. In windsurfing, I think it's more like the tens.

So, he has not 'gone back to windsurfing', he never stopped.

If I could ask Robby a question...

...um...can't think of one...would be kiting related...something like; do you want your towel back and have you seen my phone?

Nah, actually, I would ask him what's the most scared he has ever been windsurfing or kiting. Seems like a most excellent question. It's not technical, but I reckon you'd get a good answer!

I think that question is worthy of it's own thread... Go on kiter789, do it!

Kitecrazzy is gay. I know him. Dont listen to him.

Whats the most rewarding part of being Robby Naish?

For all the younglings out there who want to make kiteboarding/windsurfing their life, how would they go about it?

and lastly......Robby Naish, do you think kitecrazzy is gay???

Have you ever used a board leash ?

Have you ever worn board shorts over your wetsuit ?
