Yesterday at Woodies......there was a kiter doing airy transitions about 5 m from the shore, and not more than 50 m upwind from some nasty rocks, and .... most importantly..... only few meters from HER.
...and the tragedy happened........no, no he did not hit the rocks .......much worse than that: SHE did not pay attention. In fact she was totally oblivious of him.
....and the air was filled with sadness and whisper: "please see me, acknowledge me, please just a glimpse, just a glimpse....."

At least he impressed some boys.
Perhaps a lifestyle change would suit him better.

Glimpse of her, or from her?

Ambiguity in a post makes the reader think that it is possible that the author is drunk or illiterate.

Despite popular belief, kitesurfing doesn't impress people.

Now if he could have pulled off a few of those tricks whilst bounncing from the rocks with his head, maybe he would have got a glimpse OFF her.

'Despite popular belief, kitesurfing doesn't impress people'

very true!!

its not uncommon to see a group of girls froth over surfers at scarbs or trigg,

however in 2 years ive never seen a girl approach a kitesurfer in awe or wonderment!!! or even take notice lol

i do not think kiting is the sport to be in if trying to pull girls!!!

which is unfortunate!

I don't think it's unfortunate - imagine the number of crew that would take up the sport if did pull the chics. We'd have all sorts of clowns getting flung around 2m from the shore in the hope they'll get some lady action. just look at the numbers of surfers on a summer weekend down at scarborough or trigg. I wish surfing wasn't cool either actually.

happy days

I think it might work for the opposites.
do any of you girls ever have any elligable guys come and chat with you while you are kiteing........ oh hang on.... we would always do that anyway.

oh, it pulls the chick, my friends...

I recently had a group of tasty schoolie nubiles ask if i could do a trick behind them while they had a photo taken.

If only i wasn't an overweight, balding, married man 10 years past my prime, i might have investigated this blatant display of adoration further.

Then again, they might have wanted the shot to laugh at the stupid old man with the kite, wearing daggy sunnies and some sort of nappy harness thingy...

That cracked me up. Freaking gold lovey

Whats a trick worth?

New kite... $1800
New board... $500
Pulling a trick in front of a group of schoolies... $priceless

...yes, my friend, I always feel drunk after a good kiting session.........and feel totally illiterate when I want to express it with words.....and...ambiguity is good because (as you said) it makes you think....
