Ive come up with this idea, you see i dig kitesurfing and i play paintball as much as i can...

So here is my idea of a possible new sport, Im calling it kite ball. At the moment im throwing around a few ideas on how it could work, firstly 2 kiters could chase each other until one hits the other or have a shooter on a jet ski either fixed or chasing while the kiter tries to dodge, jump or deflect with board (railey? flip?).

Now for everyone out there thinking this is just danger,danger,danger well so is crossing the road, but of coarse we can do our best to be safe im thinking full face mask, observe who has right of way etc.

Well i might just had too many beers tonight but if you got any feedback good or bad or want to give it a blast we'll see what we can work out

It might just end up being a way to get rid of the unwanted kiters....

Gruezi,

Good to see a like minded person, i live in australind W.A. 'bout 300 meters from where i kite, check out some pics in kiters gallery of my local, im thinking it will be sweet...

Zulu

Yeah Bro,

All paintball paint is FULLY biodegradable, the stuff i use will not even stain white clothes, and i fully agree about safety distances i may be nutty but im not a fruit cake...

No great thought needed re rules.
just think of Polo
2 goals, one is Nanga, the other Denham ....... only 50 km apart
Sorry lurch, you're shooting upwind Matee

how big a kite do you think I'd need for the average horse??

Hey Gas...will you join my team?

I've picked up my general and some infantry today at the beach.

What size teams should there be Zu?

there should be a guy on the beach with a plumbers pipe butane piezo orange mortar firing off random shots to add to the action.
boom....sploosh boom....sploosh boom....owwwww!
get the picture
any volunteers

What about we start with one on one and with experience grow to groups.

Half the fun will be watching anyway, so having teams waiting around would be no problem; and we would need less equipment to start Do you think the local paint-ball supplier would sponser the event by providing the gear? We could pay them in DVD royalties.

Wierd idea, but nice

Hey guys,

Problems solved, i own a 913cc 2 stroke 3 seater jet ski so it will have no trouble keeping up with us and i work for bunbury paintball as a ref so i did a bit of sweet talking the other day, he said the markers SHOULD be fine in salt water but the local cops have to be notified, other wise u can be charged with shooting a firearm in public and a string of other things so if the cops and the boss is happy.... GAME ON

zulu

yeah bro
gonna sus everything tomorrow, as 4 winds in australind when its good its f@#king smoking but more often than not its basic 15knot sea breeze, as for the local cops if they say no ive got a friend whos a OIC down south, he would be my second choice, but we'll play it by ear

but wouldn't it be more likely to puncture an old frapped out kite?

LMFAO - we play king of the hill at kurnell all the time. It's easy to be the king if you can stay upwind with 10m tacks and ALWAYS stay in the flat water just behind the rock groynes. [}:)]

Hi guys
still waiting to catch up with cops and boss been working shift
but this weekend is looking f@#king awesome for australind sat noon on wards sunday even better so any one keen 4 a 12km downwinder all on flat water on the way we stop at the river mouth, a bay, a 1km jetty parralel to a sou'wester, i usally take 3-4 hours to go from end to end. cars are safe locked up at either end, and a couple of cold beers at the end to top the day.
the estruary could hold 100+ kiters easily so all are welcome.
Anyone interested?

Wrestling

People duel it out into the air attempting to pin the opponents kite into the water by either pulling his quick release, steering his kite into the water or by colliding with it
