Each issue of KBM we ask our trusty Seabreezers to post a few questions to the featured PRO Rider - This issue we are going to put the spot light on GREG NORMAN JR.

For those that don't much about him his dad is the golfer Greg Norman and he has been a pro rider based in the US for the last few years.

He is sponsored by Cabrinha.

Here is is BIO of the the CAB website.

Name/Nickname : Greg Norman Jr
Age : 24
Resides : South Florida
Years riding : 9
Sponsors : Cabrinha, Ronix Wake, Globe, Oakley, Dakine, Freestyle
Equipment : Switchblade and Nomad kites, 140 Custom, 140 Ronix Viva, Cabrinha Skate, Ronix Reliks, Dakine Renegade Harness, Globe Kicks
If I wasn't a pro kiter, I'd be : an actor on Entourage
What's in your iPod? : everything from Andy Mckee and Led Zepellin to Jah Cure and J 5
Favorite website : kitescoop.com and the book of faces
What are you watching right now? : Entourage
Travel survival tip : food, sunscreen, passport
Can't leave home without : American Express Card and surfboard

So go ahead and post a question and then we'll get his answers for the March issue of KBM.

Greg is heading to Australia soon for the SLider Challenge in WA so keep and eye out for there.

Cheers
Bruce

Growing up with a sporting family that certainly would of seen a lot of the world. Do you enjoy the travelling and comp side of the kiteboarding, or do you prefer to hit a great session with a few of your mates, on a secluded unknown destination?

so how hard was/is it to be your own person and establish your own identity with such a famous father who goes and names you after himself...?

Dearest Greg JR,

Is it true that your dad Greg Norman Snr broke it off with Chris Evert because you slipped her the stiff one eye?

No offence meant but if you did then good on ya!


Love and kisses,

JP

How good is it being a Pro kiteboarder, have you made as much money as your dad yet or do you think you would have been better off following in his footsteps and making a living playing golf?

Why has your dad chosen to live in seppo land, adopt a poxy accent, earn gazzilions - yet won bugger all - and STILL have the audacity to dish out (typically ignorant and over self obsessesed seppo style) advice whenever he gets paid to visit Oz?


Also why do you need publicity from a poxy advertorial mag when, lets face it, you could buy the mag 12 times over on your monthly pocket money?


Does Chrissy have any decent couger friends?

do you wish you didn't have to answer stupid questions about your dad all the time when all you probably want to talk about is riding cable and kite?

Pete must be paying you, Dre, Steen and Jake one hell of a pile of scratch to ride the switchblade and call it a decent wakestyle kite.

Are you guys secretly plotting to call mutiny on the next cabrinha boat trip and cut Pete's fingers off one-by-one, until he agrees to drop the bow kite thing for you?

Hey Bruce KBM check out the QUALITY of your questions here mate! It's not too late to change your selected 'pro' to one of our hot Aussie female kiters

Or are you gonna stick with another bad decision and I'm not gonna buy another of your issues (despite supporting the fact that you're a homegrown mag)?


... oh, and I mean 'hot' mainly in 'the way she kites' kinda way, of course.

OH OH I have one... Greg. Do you find it humiliating answering a bunch of pointless questions for an article that you know absolutely no one will read ?

Dear Greg Norman Jr (gush, gush), I know you're an aficionado of all things highbrow and as such you must read seabreeze kiting forums voraciously, so my question is this: Who is your favourite poster, you know, the one with the slickest, wittiest, most insightful and entertaining writing style?

If you answer this question correctly - in advance of KBM's actual publication - and promptly send any current model kiting gear that is surplus to your needs or that doesn't match your Floridian colour schemes to said favourite poster, he may just be willing to ghost-write answers to your KBM questions for you (including this recursive one) in such a way that makes you seem almost as intelligent, charming, hip and sagacious as he is.

And, as a kicker (will the puns ever stop?), this influential writer may just see to it that in ensuing threads and video commentaries the word "Normanesque" enters the kiting world's lexicon, describing of course those riders and moves that seek to emulate your style, thereby ensuring your profile and influence for posterity.

I already read a load of jizz on GNJ in a kiteboard mag 3 months ago. To be honest it was more entertaining reading my mums womens weekly. If he didn't have a father who we knew then would we really care.. Me thinks not.

If you want my 2 cents worth then find some young kids (not in a paedo way) to focus on. They are the future of our sport so head that way.

Or alternatively go with the upcoming talent search for chicks. Aussie ones who can deliver on the board.

On a more serious note: Does Greg Sr like Cabrinha's golf bags? Maybe they could sponsor him too?

C'mon Bruce KBM!!

Don't tell me you're one of those guys who waits just a little while more (and a little while more) to see if the wind will pick up above 6 knots?

You can do it! Send GNJr an official letter of apology.

NOW! Who can you nominate as our real pro for the next issue of KBM?
(My vote was for a hot female Aussie rider!)

what "pro" aussie female riders?... The statement "pro kiter" itself is a pretty big oxymoron if you ask me.
