Why is the teacher silly?.. Your the one asking how to do an assignment. Maybe send Sir Rowdy a message as he knows everything there is to know.

There was a really good article in KiteWorld a few months ago about Lou Wainman which talked about Kite surfing in Hawaai in the early days, probably worth a look if you can find it.

the history of kitesurfing is....


ALEX SANZ

get intouch with him, he'd be so stoked that someone actually wanted to listen to his perspective of the history of kitesurfing, I'd bet he'd do the assignment for you..

but then ofcourse it would be about a grown man kiting in girls hotpants

What a silly teacher. Is it that kitesurfing is too difficult a topic or too trivial? If too difficult, then Alex Sanz can help. If too trivial then why don't you explore one of these topics instead?

a) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_Garbage_Patch

or

b) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweatshop

or

c) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

Better still write something about the relationship of kitesurfing to one of the above topics.

I can tell ya the history of kitesurfing:
"It was by coincidence, once I grabbed a kite and just flew up in the air."
However I refuse to post the related video...

Hey Tom do a search on this guy "Bruno Legaignoux" that's a good place to start.
