don't you get it?

It must be a conspiracy by small blokes and board short manufacturers. Kiteboarding magazine June/July issue page 65 suggests that you would be a better rider by working to "avoid having your beach look like a sausage factory".

This is true. A naked wettie ain't no stylin'.

That's why I wears my Speedos over my wettie. Then I gets some respec. I like to accessorise with some bling-bling too.

I know my seat harness makes me look like i am smuggling wildlife in my wettie. Boardies all the way!

You're definitely not giving your all to kiting if you've got enough time to be waisting thoughts on vanity.

Did the Anzacs worry about how they looked storming the beach front in those daggy strides? No God damn it they did not! Why? Coz they were Australians! Not namby-pamby bloody metro-sexual Americans!

Any good, decent, Aussie kiter is (1) going too hard to be worried if his balls are hanging out of his harness! (2) too busy pushing that perfect kite-loop to be worried about the beach crew sizing up his packed lunch! (3) damn proud of his sausage! (4) probably female anyway and has a damn fine figure well worth showing off!

If this keeps up much longer the kite manufacturers will have to start packaging their new kites with make-up mirrors... so the "bois" can touch-up their lippy after the excertion of pumping the kite up!

BTW Does my arse look fat in this new steamer?

i use a seat harness, i started noticint that my wetsuit was wearing on the legs where the leg straps go so i started wearing boardies

Haircut 4000 - Is this the first time u have ventured into the kiting forum!? Just 2 watch and follow me - aww... lol.

You really do need wind there don't u mate!

Ah mate... Good luck with the winds tomorrow then! Only prediced to be at the most about 13 knots, so there's no point in heading to Wello. Hoepfully you will have some luck down at the GC. I sure hope those predicted winds kick in next week

Sure is... It better kick in also, and the prediction better not drop off like it usually does lol... It's not too bad, I did manage to get out on Thursday, so I can wait a bit longer I suppose

wooo - Now that would be impressive with a seat harness ! lol ... U still in town Mark?

Congratulations must be in order then for the new job. Three sessions is pretty good in such a short time! Ashame it's too cold there to replicate sir hof- would have made a lasting impression

You'l soon miss the beautiful sunny weather, your kiting mates, the great winds, the 't-shirt and cargo-pants' weather, and the 24 deg days. Luckily it's only a short flight away though, and the consistant winds will soon be kicking in.

You missed a great one on Wednesday though. Too strong for me, but Stewie and his mate, Henri, Zebb, Zac, and a few others I don't know yet were poping big jumps and tricks. Zebb did a jump start from the roof of the 'tourist information cover' (near the stairs down to King Island), and landed it! Dangerous, but well done.

rudolph nureyev lives. he would be so proud!

hey
i herd in a mag that the guys with boardys over their weties mean they are locals i dont no y they need it

u know whats funny,
i never wear boardies over my wettie, but after reading this post the other day i had a dream last night that i was kiting (musta been a dream coz theres FA wind - anyway) and i was wearing boardies over the top, and it looked kinda cool.

might give it a go this summer

it's just one of the many fashion statements being made by kiters around the globe...

I've been wearing boardies over my wetty since my brother said "Dont knock it till ya try it !", I feel naked if I head out for a sesion now without my shorts... thank phuk i've got nitrous shorts for an excuse
