I'm bored so I have looked at every website for all Perth based kitesurfing shops, dealers and kitesurfing schools and a bizare thing I found, they all claim to be the first in Perth to pioneer and promote the sport. Can anyone tell me who was officially the first person to launch a kite here and make waves????
I got back from a world trip in 1998 and was surfing out at brighton around Sept/Oct when this thing went past me going downwind and I asked myself "what the f@#* is he doing" he was toesiding with a foil kite I think and looking very awkward but moving along ok. I had never seen a kite before and at the time didn't think it would take off, but look at it now!
So who started it

Well zac i can say there was a bloke named KIM he made home made windsurfing gear,and spun a lot of crew when he launched this UFO thing on the west coast, he struggled up wind on a very small directional board.But i know his enthusiasm introduced it to quite a few doods explaining the consept and giving them a go up Geraldton way,and he was one of the first to do a hell down winder to Margret River from kiosk, from memory he ended up rescued on the box. MAKES A GOOD GUITAR,too
