Let me set the scene.....This is not a pollie vs kite hate motivated and I know the haters will chime in so take it as you want I know you will.... but for the rest I'm sure you see the humour......;)

I remember the stoke the first time I was standing on the beach and watched someone have the "hand of god" pull him off the water and boost 15 plus feet and the speed and power he got yanked off the water......!

Back to the scene.......

So you just got the latest Quatro and sail you rig up and eventually after everyone stopping to check out your new gear and froth over it you head out on your flash gear for your first run......the board feels light sail full and powered.......you love your new gear..

You look downwind and then it happens........you see a kite boost up...up...then as he looks down at you over the back of his shoulder, does it make you feel like you have just wasted 5 grand?
