so we all know how upset you are, need a tissue perhaps? mabey we should get over it and move on. its a good thing to ride in light wind, but even beter thing to ride in the strong stuff. lets just focus on that.

speaking of. do you know seb cattelan rode in the speed challenge at luderitz in a 60 knot breeze, thats on a 7 meter kite.

And you seem to be so obsessed that you missed the minor comment in his post which says "and yes this is pimping even if you don't sell it". Pimping is generally pimping when you are overly enthusiastic towards one brand, like naming your forum name after the brand. You may also be shocked to find out that people generally take the posts with a pinch of salt, because anyone who loves their kite enough to name themselves after their kite is, well, a little enthusiastic and probably prone to pimping.

You may also be shocked to find out that nobody has problems with hearing about your experiences with new kites, whatever brand they might be, in fact *shock* *horror*, would you believe they even have a forum dedicated to it called R E V I E W S so you can post your experiences with a kite using a particular format? Yes, this new forum has only been there for the last couple of years and has this amazing format that helps riders use a standard format so they don't neglect minor things, like mentioning the riders weigh 50kg's which would typically be relevant for a light wind post. This is what the template looks like:

If relevent, please fill in this template...(& remove this line)

My Comments:

Should you choose to use this template in future, you may discover that people may actually take your review a little more seriously than "Check us styling in 8-10 knots - oops by the way, did i forget to mention the riders weigh less than most people did at birth"

Why no comment about the speed sesh we could have at sandy point? I want to know if I make the effort to come down to sandy point that you will be in for a speed sesh as well?
