It's just too gusty for da boys. And they cant kite in off shore wind. And they cant kite in small areas full of people, cause there lines are to long. And they cant launch there kites from a beach full of rocks at least windsurfers still can..Thats why windsurfing is better The reason more girls do it is because girls like fancy colours and so do gays
Is flipper KOTP's love child appentice.
If so,,,spelling shouldn't matter.
WOW,,,there are more topics about kiteing here than in the kite forum.
Maybe there should be a thread asking "Is the windsurfing threads about windsurfing still declining?"
nah you just have never seen anyone kite in offshore , cause the only teabagging you see is lipton which you put in a cup with suger.i hear the zimmer frame company have a new line coming out soon. George Burns would be rolling in his grave missing out on that one
I feel like I'm listening to a 13 year old when I look back on any of your 'last 60 days' of posts....
Some unusual posts in there too...
Capt Loopy I don't recall us having a lost n found forum with 2815 threads. Geez you blokes are careless.
Lotofwind - it is spelt "kiting"
Peace.
king of da point hellllllp me! please bro! you there bro?? or a ya off ya island surfing some where? come in bro and help flipp
Geez guys...I wish there were more guys on the water here (kiters or w/surfers). Most times I go w/surfing I have to let the 'minister fo war & finance' know where I'm going for safety reasons because I know I'm going to be on the water by myself.
In 5 years, I've w/surfed once with kiters (Torquay, Vic. early this year) and expecting the worst from reading these sort of threads, the guys with the long lines were great...even with everyone (about 30 w/surfers, 20 kites) [edit - might've been a few less now I think of it, but still packed] negotiating one break. The first time I had to cross under a kite, I was watching his lines thinking 'sh!t, what am I supposed to do here?!' (I'm prob a bit of a kook, not knowing the correct etiquette), wasn't a prob, the lines went up & I passed under, quick thumbs up from me, which was returned & we went on our way.
As for trying tea-bagging, I thought about trying it, and maybe I am too old, but I'm having too much fun pole-dancing to want to try anything else!
Trolls will troll, and it makes for entertaining reading (when the hook is set) - just don't take yourselves too seriously.
It's nice to get a few pleasant, lucid replies over here.
I'd never visited this forum until KOTP's 'kiters carnt' post and was beginning to think that all windsurfers were angry ol farts. You have proven that's not the case. Perhaps KOTP and barn, or shed, or hut or whatever his name is are exceptions.
For the record, as an east coast surfer, frustrated by afternoon seabreezes, I attempted to learn to wavesail in the early 90's. It was obviously a huge amount of fun. But, after numerous outings, lugging a heavy, original windsurfer and all the gear to the lake and back, rigging and de rigging, I progressed as far as a wobbly tack before I gave up. I understand how skillful wavesailing is.
Then kitesurfing came along and changed my life.
If your on the water, it's all good.
Cheers
^As I was typing you proved my assessment of you was accurate.
You're a bitter ol man barn.
Sux to be you.
Dickward I'm younger than you are.. And I have nothing against kites, half the guys I sail with are using a kite.. It's just that you're a noob, and your Evangelic 'kiting is awesome' bile is old hat.. Like you said, you have never visited this forum. Yet you start unfunny threads and expect everyone to see how funny your creative writing is.
You're just another kite troll who got a little bit too excited about an internet encounter with a windsurfer..
And yes, I have a sense of humour, please tell me more about this
I'm compelled to correct you on a few things.
I weigh 105kg, my kite quiver is 14m, 12m and 10m, I was amazed when miss Jess (hi jess, where ever you are now) offered me her 5m kite on a super windy, gusty day, and I was lit up on it. A check of seabreeze graphs later revealed there were 50kn gusts in the time I was out.
Kiters can't kite gusts and over 25kn - BUSTED!
flipp said: well down our way when its blows over 25 knots all the kiters stay home and you see heaps of windsurfers come and out and play.
We are not all old x diggers by the way I am in my 30s and so are all my pollie buddys PEACE!
^You mean the Todd Trollington posts, I think laurie deleted those, I got a pm from him asking me to stick to one log on.
Can you delete posts?
I made the troll face thing as a joke, how could anyone troll with such an obvious profile.
Believe it or not, a guy in the sup forum gave me a straight answer, I felt kinda sorry for him, he was a real nice guy.
Those posts are gone too, I think Todd Trollington is dead.
Fair call on the first post newbie thing.
Great call on the SMH internet meme.
Perhaps, with the SMH reference you are from Sydney, that would explain your heightened aggression, I understand, it's a jungle down there.
Sorry about the immature thing, that was immature on my behalf.
I'm an athiest.
Why can't people just get along, let's be friends.
