will definatly have to trythis next time theres wind BUT im in england for three weeks on wens so the idea mite be gone so yeh but think of trying to land a boost
lol

Dont worry about all the technicalities - All the major companies are developing the gear. They will all have ''kook-proof" ergonomic knee pads (so you cant accidentally get the board backwards or upside down), ''bomb-proof'' construction, perfect flex, carbon fibre core.
I think Naish scientists are working on a new range of flouro colours that are so bright you have to wear polarised sunglasses to look directly at them.

Sooooo hot for 2010

i'm hanging out for an air chair you can ride with a kite.

C'mon guys, Alex Sanz' been doing that for years.

what about trying to use a single waterski behind a kite. could be interesting, has anyone tried this.

Funny you mention thaat. Ive been tandem goat boat kiting before with 2 kites, sickest thing ever.

Greebly said...

double weirdo!!! i Cant even picture this process.

You move over the west Gribbles?

Just for the people who may not know, there are actually guys who hit sliders/kickers and do mobes behind the boat and cable on kneeboards..... no joke.

i love the kneeboard. Back in the day there was no better ice breaker than taking the young non-waterskiing bird you were keen on for a double kneeboard. once you got them up after a couple of goes it was time to start spraying them in the face and pushing them around. I'd like to say 9 times out of ten but let's say 4 times out of 5 it resulted in me spraying them in the face and pushing them around l8er (if ya know wot i mean nguk nguk)

Kite kneeboarding eh? I am sure I have seen a post somewhere on the interwebs that a disabled guy does it as he does not have full use of his legs.

And as for the single ski thing it has been done and there is a reason you don't see them on the water these days.

Some say it's just to stupid to contemplate. Others say that if it doesn't sound stupid it's not worth contemplating. So, Yes I did contemplate. And yes I did something stupid. Dead right about the boards not being ideal when falling from height. I have personally received a valuable lesson whilst knee boarding over a 2.2 meter ski jump.

The first attempts went quite well and may have even looked a little stylish. However on the 4th run I decided to go unstrapped and hit the jump at 30mph with the intention of gracefully diving into the water after parting with the board.

The board had other idea's. In short, contemplate all things. Only do the ones that make sense. Knee boards and kites I think may fall into the doesn't make sense column.

But hey, I'm just an idiot with a limp so don't listen to me.

When you combine jet skiing with kitesurfing
