You're kidding-looks like a nicely lined up bottom turn-he could head straight back up that face and smack the imminently pitching lip-PLUS it's a right hander!

P.s @ johno

You would be kidding yourself to say surfers don't do the same thing. I always hear them
complaining about boogers, mals, stand up goat boaters. Not
to mention dropping in etc. Then there is the whole debate towing in vs paddling in. Sure there is opinion on the forum but rarely do I see angst on the water.

Boy kiters are a bunch of tossers, ....
....I don't hear surfers wank on like you bunch if tossers, surfers on every type surfboard in the water and ripping, thrusters, 4 fins , singles, hybrids, a knee boarder, body boarders, even some dude on a finless wooden plank, the original Hawaian surfboard, and No zenofobic, pathetic bitching from any about which is better, only lots if smiles and stoke over a great new pulse. This sport is getting more piss weak every day.


Ha, ha, That was a great rant!

Don't write us all off (kiters) off as being a bunch of little bitches though.
There are guys ripping on all sorts of boards at my local. Nobody craps on about which way is best. I don't think any of them choose to ride their particular board because it's "cool" either.

The bitching is typical of the seabreeze crew, not your average kiter.

Boy kiters are a bunch of tossers, have loved this great sport for the last 10 years and gotta say, what a bunch of piss weak dick heads we all are, no wonder every other water user wants to ban kiters. I'm at Margaret river surfing today in perfect Heavy 6 ft main break, and I don't hear surfers wank on like you bunch if tossers, surfers on every type surfboard in the water and ripping, thrusters, 4 fins , singles, hybrids, a knee boarder, body boarders, even some dude on a finless wooden plank, the original Hawaian surfboard, and No zenofobic, pathetic bitching from any about which is better, only lots if smiles and stoke over a great new pulse. This sport is getting more piss weak every day. The new kites are so easy to fly every wanna be can get out there in the surf, and start givin **** about what is or isn't cool. Grow up men with little dicks and show your friends your skills on the water and stop all the negitive vibe on this GREAT forum.
If I thought kiting was cool I'ld give it up today, but **** it's just to much fun. JohnnoKeys


Obviously only rides strapped.....

They are all goooood

?risk your goals!!!!!

an unstrapped reo from fk Knows where to howd I land that? has got to feel good...
Swimming for an hour to never find a your board again coz you fkd up could not feel good (*unless building your character)

its like boogas and standup... every booga who gets towed into a meat axe standup loves it.
if its big and there is no ski - they will paddle in on a booga....and low and behold they will get more waves..especially that one you couldnt quite back yourself on, its suicicide and they spin around and take it that wee bit way late...and get spatout..

unstrapped is better feeling sometimes .. standup is better feeling sometimes

But just how much time and money do you have?

I know I bought my lotto ticket tonight and its only wednesday lotto.

Its all about goals, risk and reward..

and not working ever, getting wet every day and free orgasms for no emotional output
ooh yeah[}:)]

Now thats a shot Slave! Big props to the guy!
You all need to stop being so negative and start giving people some good vibes once in a while. I can't believe how negative you all are all of the time.

Come on man give him some credit, how would he get in that sweet position if he wasn't hooked? Your all so whiney, no other sport whines about everything like all you kooks... You should just get out there and have fun instead of whining so much.

Ride what you brung

Seen guys rip strapped and unstrapped it is more the rider than the equipment. Even Ben Wilson acknowledges the top strapped crew rip. Different strokes etc.

Yes I ride strapped but who cares really.

With you Johnno, don't see too many unstrapped guys wacking main break
