Yeah saw it what a clown. When the reporter was body draggin i thought he was going to reach orbit or hit that lovely rock groyne just down wind of him.

Try and promote the sport so they find "Mr Kitesurfing Australia" what a role model not!

That particular truck is notorious on the East Coast - the driver, well he's far less environmentally friendly.

Didnt see the article, but it does sound like Alex Sanz & his vegie powered Mitsubishi Canter 4WD truck.

I'll stick up for Alex - you never know what was shot & then ended up on the editors floor - probably skipped all the safety stuff and just showed some action for a 5 min grab.

Personally I have met Alex and spent some time with him on no-wind days looking over video shoots and discussing kiting amongst other things. He is a very likable individual, who is passionate about life and his kiting. He is not your typical hairy chested gung hoer, but someone who has introduced a lot of people to kiting in a safe, friendly and enthusiastic manner.

He gets my vote

Alex is a dangerous individual!!!
Ive seen him run out of town twice---------- Byron Bay and the Entrance, with a bit of biffo thrown in .
I was a bystander and I reckon he deserved it .
If you ask him he will tell you straight ----------- "I DONT GIVE A **** IF KITING GETS BANNED AT YOUR BEACH -- I'LL MOVE TO
ANOTHER ONE!"
