canada
feurteventura

definately worth ur while checking them

Stoojio what is ur real identity

The video is sic, I agree but why is it that Ruben needs to ride in front of the launch and landing area anyway.

Thats like the problem they are having in Kailua Bay, Oahu. people (general public, kayakers etc) not respecting the 50m of launch area specified for the kiters! It causes massive problems for the kiting community in Kailua and may end up getting the whole thing shut down (refer to post on kiteforum.com by Eric Eck).

Ruben is a great rider, no doubt, but he and his buddies attitude towards the sailboarders (who have probably been using that spot for the last 20 years or more) is shameful. The attitude of others on this forum that disrespect other water users rights is also about as lame as it gets.

And we wonder why we have issues with the rest of the community with regard to the image of kiters! As with most things, it is the few that make life difficult for the many.

Maybe it's about time to grow up and show some respect for others!

Good winds

was reading a little a few weeks ago.

apparently its a place called sherman island in san francisco which has been a windsurfing spot for 25 years. Its the same place as he was jumping from the roof of the hut. Its a very small area in a nature reserve, access is via a path that runs through a few hundred meters of swamp and bush. Previously kitesurfers had ripped up a ****load of the bush to make the beach bigger, bit stupid when we're talking about a nature reserve. Really the place isn't for kitesurfers, there isn't a wide beach for setup and its congested.

It doesn't matter whether you think windsurfing is lame. The fact is he didn't obey local rules, he was dangerous and he has potentially endangered riding access for all.

I don't know if you can see it in the video but his suicide leash snapped and his kite went flying into the bushes just past that old guy on the windsurfer.

Either way he was being a tool, but so was the woman. Honestly if I was a 70yr old windsurfer trying to have fun I wouldn't want some woman paying me off as some fragile old fool who needs protection from some woman.

If its a launch and land area, why cant Ruben land his kite there too????

well he wasn't landing his kite there, he was riding there. He landed his kite in the bushes.

The thing i find funny is that the main person who seemed to have a really big problem with Ruben was the lady standing there in the 'launching and landing area' with her dog, Yet she wasn't windsurfing or kiting, so why the fk would she stand with her dog in the way of the designated 'launching and landing area'? I reckon she needs to have the pole taken out of her arse and rammed up her twat.

he shouldn't have been kiting there, the sands 70 years old and its obvious the local laws state you need to wear a helmet with the capacity to drown you.

ruben and his pals enjoyed the footage so much ,i'm sure i heard one of them whisper"i've got a packet of saos"

He can handle the ** if you can handle the shame......
