It could of been the start of a good add for a new kite brand. He might want to get a bit better at kiting to make it work though.
Hello Craig,
I think they missed the joke.
Anyway. Mawfee gave the Zian a good workout and so did Roger. Good reports.
I wish I had tried it too. I'm looking for a new 11m now.
Looks like 35 kt SSE here tomorrow. But don't rush to come home. Cold 14 degrees forecast.

A rocking bali local. What gave it away? i grew out my mullet....
Dont worry Rob, this is seabreeze. Insult is the only accepted form of communication. As long as you understand it your ok.
Im guessing i need an Ego-pro though.
Then i can take it home and look into my own crazed eyes halfway through a Figjam 540' and tell myself that its ok, i cant kite good but i make up for it with my venom green V8 ute that BHP bought me.
I met him in Sri Lanka, nice guy!
Luckly he was just stuffing around in the vid.
The kites fly well though.
Good to see u having a ball craggers! Hopefully u r still at the camp kite next year so I can b crashing my kite and getting in your way. It's pretty funny seeing some of the posts. There's always someone bigger and better hey... Peanuts
Could easily have got this guy (below) to give us some flying footage... ho hum... just like every other kite brand out there. BUT How many kite makers rock up at a beach and hand out demo models to average punters without even asking what level of kiter they are????? something about that says 'confidence in product' to me.
i think all kite companies would get average punters to test their kites. Pros can fly any peice of shiit and make it look good. its the yunters that will find the flaws in the product that good guys might miss.
Your replacement may be a better kiter but can he drink a bottle of tequila and walk on a ledge 9 floors up?
hmm maybe not.
but he did repeatedly boost over the bloody bonfire during moonlight kiting last night (windy + flames... not good) despite the sparks getting far too close to his kite...
got about 50 on youtube ( search 'theRealCraggers'). most are just for laughs, but these ones are kiting related:
EGYPT:
COSTA RICA, BAHIA SALINAS:
KIPEPO BEACH, DAR ES SALAAM TANZANIA:
ZANZIBAR:
... cool as craggers, I'll have to wait til I'm home to watch'em, work interweb blocks youtube :(
cheers,
Robbie
