Today after see this bloke with a phone in a bag with ear phones LOL take the call in a back roll
A bottle of air LOL
Sunnies NO POINT
PFD ok if you are on a outter reef
Reel leash no no
Gath hat what you going to hit water
AND THE LIST GO ON
What ever happened to a kite a bar a board and harness
Sunnies BIG POINT. I can actually see when I`m looking towards the sun. Protects the eyes from harmful rays, that`s why we wear them at other times.
Don`t wear the sunnies you bought at the petrol station, get a pair designed to be used on water.
You right, I don`t even bother taking my phone down the beach, always gets lost.
Bottle of air??? What the! Don`t understand?
Reel leash, now that`s asking for trouble.
Considering my PFD saved my life, then I am in the other corner to anyone who says that they are gay, and I am sure many kitesurfers dont want to go blind from cataracts. Everything else... happiness comes from simplicity, aint kitesurfing enough fun without the gadgets?
I have prescritions, therefore, sunnies a must, otherwise I will endangour everyone's lives!
Also good to protect those eyes from the sun!
I'm slightly guilty of always taking too much gear - two kites, two boards, two sets of bars/lines + harness and pump, I almost always take it all down onto the beach... just incase.
i couldnt sea for 2 days after not wearing sunnies cause it was when i was learning i was constanly look up into the sun to see my kite and kept getting dunk it hurt like hell[}:)]
Read the skin cancer post, melanoma in the eye is fatal within months, buy good sunnies and use them.
now I know why you need the boardshorts over ya wetty, its to put the battery pack in ya back pocket to run the fax, PDA and ipod. Maybe for a portable internet browser to check the wind
sunnies are needed. my cousin makes fake eye balls for people who have had cancers in their eyes and has instilled the message onto me
What's with sunnies when you crash hard on the face?
Well i know you shouldn't but sometimes it happens doesn't it? (missed danglepasses etc....)
Are there special ones (the watersports ones mentioned earlier) that will not hurt/break/get lost?
Cheers
hoskoau: we're not related are we???
I have taken the liberty of putting your post into google translator, it even recognised the language to be "uneducated" and converted it to "English". Neat huh
"Kiters and all THEIR accessories, an exercise in complication"
Today, after I SAW A bloke with a phone in a bag with ear phones coming from it, I had to laugh. The thought of him accepting a call during a back roll was something I found comical. Other things that make me feel this way are; air tanks to fill your kite from, sun glasses to which I see no point, reel leashes that are more a danger than aid and helmets. I can think of other accessories which brings me to the point of my poorly grammatical post; what has happened to the fundamentally basic principle of Kite+bar+board+harness=kitesurfing.
