Well I have shots of my son on his maiden voyage on his first kite...funny enough it will make a ripper high wind wave kite.

They are 6 and 7, boys been on a trainer since 4 and ridden on my board since then. The girl FINNALLY is coming through, she has control issues...

Think we sometimes forget how much joy this sport can bring to others while we squabble on the forum....lol!!

Personally Eppo, I'm concerned about their feet slipping in the boost.. How come you get straps but they don't?

As usual, I'm here to help you spend some more money (long story, eppo knows what I've taught [read cost] him about some of his gear this last 18 months.. lol)

So... here's your next purchase, Vanguard tandem... Hey, you might even get your wife out there too!




That photo is from this page if you've not seen - or want to see more pics:

Now, regarding your post about the 'snip' on another thread, I do have a good line knife in my harness... Bring a tear to your eye?

Forgot to say, they are some really great photos of the kids there.

... nice work missus Eppo, cool shots.

I hope you realise Eppo that your changing your sons DNA forever, if he gets used to jumps this big now, imagine what he's going to be like when he breaks free from your shackles and does it on his own!!!!

Cool as,

Robbie

My kids are just 1 and 3 and can't swim yet. In the meantime I have devised an evil indoctrination plan. Will have to buy more lego as the spot is much too crowded for my liking.

I've seen alot of pic's and videos over my 13 years of kiting and that lot is "GOLD".
Well done to all concerned, wish I could of been the to watch it.

Love the smile on their faces
And isn't dad half proud.

If we cross paths in Bali I hope for a repeat performance.

Dave he's a bit of a nutter like his old man, should see him doing back and forward rolls at the skate park (now that's where I cringe). I have him locked in Tight with my legs, he's going nowhere. We've jumped hundreds of times and not one problem. (I didn't post the back roll pictures...bahahahahah).

Subculture I swear you are the devil in disguise!! Talk tonight mate.

Wetsuite, got it from kite addiction, figured I'd give it a crack. We were out from 730am to 230 pm, so just keeps the energy levels up..but yes soft cockalitis for sure.

Weirded....classic!!!!!

And robbie, the shackles will be broken soon enough, but he will probably up there unhooked, doing some flicky flicky stuff looking down condescendingly at his old school tragic old man...

Awesome effort man. And completely evil plan. Once the kids are into it you open up a whole new Window of time. Family time becomes kiting time.....

I wish I had a spot like that I could take my kids.

and i'm wearing a hat that makes me look like the water boy

only excuse i have...was swapping the same kite with my brother from 730am to 230pm. So in and out of the water, 15 min or so on/off, without an extended break until the kids rocked up for an hour or so, even then in the water.

...but yeh I was kind over heating on land for sure!

Shared your photos with my wife Eppo, and her comment was "Dad's are so magical :)"

Us Dads don't often get positive feedback like that from our wives....
