All I know about the Dutch rudder is that I'm only holding your arm, so it's not gay...

That means he wouldn't get any work off the poleys I guess...

Oh and whatever happened to Self Launching? Sounds like this guy will be out of business when these guys learn IKO stage 1....

People talk more about seeing ME launch Hadlows kite, not hadlow kiting.


Yeah that was like a copy/remake of Parkes Bonifay's "professional chase boat driver" interveiw from "Boombox" wakeboard video. Not too original.

Ba ha ha - witnessed a certain relative's kite get washed up onto the shore at Swanny recently, unfortunately right where a proud gent stood - tackle out - making it clear a Southerly was blowing.. hard!

Perhaps he was Dutch?

Don't know if the offer was on to hold the bar (or the elbow) whilst the tangles were sorted?

Wisely a quick relaunch was on and back off the beach pronto!

Nice, subtle humour... very 'Australian' in style - yanks wouldn't get it!!

Now if he moved into set-up and launch i reckon i'd pay up for that!

Interviewer: What about landing?

Subject: No I am a kite launcher.


Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
