"Wow dude, look at the freaking mess above your control-bar."
"What mess? Are you talking about my kite, baby?"
"No babe. I'm talking about all that tangle-tackle that's above your bar."
"Darling, I need all that tangle-tackle. It's necessary so I can sheet my kite and trim my kite."
"But babe, how can you see the wave-face? How can you even see through that cluster-f#ck of webs and ropes?"
"Remember when I used to windsurf, darling? It's a bit like that. My vision is impaired by the gear somewhat. You have to rely on your instinct."
"You don't have to you know."
"What are you saying darling?"
"You could get all that stuff out-of-your-face. You could change to a below-the bar set-up."
"Pfttt. Below-the-bar adjustment is crap, baby. You're always fighting with the cleat. You can't adjust it on the fly. Your body language is spastic cause the leverage is retarded."
"You're right babe. What you have is perfect ....and so are you."
"Shucks darling."
well not exactly what I call good reading, but really..... who's looking at the words!!!
I wrote the dialogue intentionally to be interchangeable.
What I mean is,
You can start the conversation with the girl speaking first,
or the guy speaking first,
and so on, and so on.
It works both ways.
I like that.
What do you call that ?
"Wow, nice rig!"
"Thanks, but is it the rig you like or the way I use it?"
"Well I do love watching you jump up and down through the waves"
"Hey, what's that in your hand?"
"Oh, that just helps me perform better"
"Why do you need to perform?"
"Well I'm really a bit insecure, but I find if I come to the beach, get out my equipment and perform, that people love to stand around and watch!"
"Really, your a freak, pi55 off!"
my guess is that avatar is an actual x-ray
and the doctors still haven't been able to dislodge the bone
A serious debate on the seabreeze kite forum?
Slave telling me to be personable on a forum. That's a bit like being told to lay off the drugs by Kieth Richards.
Boy and girl talking on the beach ????????
Don't you mean

"Poor baby, what's the matter with your neck?"
"I think I'm suffering from newbie-neck, babe. I can't straighten my head anymore."
"Is that from looking up at the kite all the time when you're kiting?"
"Yeah darling, and the sun is killing my eyes. I'm squinting like a chinaman in a snowstorm."
"Do you want to borrow my sunglasses, babe?"
"I would if I could. But first I have to rest my tired arm on my board. My shoulders are sore and I think I've got tennis-elbow."
"Is that from the super-high bar pressure, babe?"
"Yeah darling. And my stupid impact vest is coming undone too."
"Do you want me to strap you up. How about a nice massage, baby?"
"Later darling, I'll kite for a few hours so you can shoot more photos of me."

Dude, this is a topic that could transpire into a serious debate over the benefits of a below-the-bar trim as opposed to the above-the-bar trim ...
Then why have the chick in the photo at all???
The blond looks like she's laid an egg
Unless the photographer uses scare tactics
