The twisty dangly moves are still the same although they had two girls per kite back then in lieu of two guys today. Nice find stehsegler.

When I was on Maui in 1993 I think I saw the first real kiteboarder. It was sort of a kite shaped like an arrow with kitelines and a huge long bar and he was using water ski's. I've got it on video but I don't know how to put it up on this site.

Sweet! This is practically the (insane) idea I had of attaching a windsurfer to a buoy in high winds, and water-starting > flying.
Rather than have a boat doing 20 knots you use a 20 knot wind instead.
A kite seems more practical.
Now I just need to team up with MacroScience to build the crazy contraption and market it to schoolies, Japanese tourists and honeymooners visiting the Gold Coast.
What could possibly go wrong?
