I was at Caloundra today and saw something i have been told only happens to those **Beginners** (which i am one of) you know those first season kitesurfers with no idea and frowned upon by "some" seasoned kitesurfers.

It shows anything can happen! no matter how long you've been in the sport.

By the way Luke is a great guy and is always willing to help out, lend his gear etc.

He is also an awesome kitesurfer with lots of experience.

Hope he gets a laugh out of these pics like i did !!

married life has wrecked his judgement!!!

I guess thats one way to self land




Im sure he will be very very happy you posted the pics and will have a laugh as you did

Wooops! lol,
Always the way never a camera around when you pull of one of your best moves but when you stuff up.. you get Busted! nice photos well done!

In my defence there was a big wind shadow around the corner where I was trying to land my kite around all the beach users,The kite stalled and was going down there was heaps of rocks around so I could not run backwards to get tension back on the lines so I just let it fall out and was thankfull that it landed on the tree rather than on some kid! Pretty funny as no one was hurt and there was no damage to the kite thank god. They make em Tuff those switchblades!

Cheers

Luke

Think the best is the 3rd picture

"Hope he gets a laugh out of these pics like i did !!"
Its not Him, Its the wind & the kite, they love trees, & always make the news.
Good to see the kite survived.

I think it's starting to be a new sport!
