It's not you, it's the kite that gets a hard wrap (sic), around a tree.

No it's only Australians. Here it's only the north, Naish and slingshot users who end up in trees.

I was just playing a late April Fools prank on you all.

Took me ages on MS paint to make that incredibly clever fake screen grab!

I thought that was quite a good Vid, but agree not enough old school Dre, probably because he left Cabrinha

I had a 12m switchblade 3. It pulled and turned like a truck and just about gave me tendonitis in my arms from the bar pressure everytime I had a long session on it. I still had a lot of fun on it though.

Legionnaires hat is called a 'Kepi Blanc' ........
Useless fact for the day.
There are different color 'kepi's'..... But they don't come in Fluro sorry.

I have a few spare kepi blanc's if you want to dye them with fluro clothes die??
Voila, le boudin!!

Yea SurfFX you forgot to mention all the masts on sail boats I've totally destroyed wrapping my day old brand new crispy Cabrinha kite around or the numerous amount of trees at KFC I've kept pruned for GGCC and the amount of repairs you've charged me for in testing the latest Cabrinha kite threw out the years thank you SurfFX for having the faith I would totally destroy every new crispy just out of the container Cabrinha kite I ever got from you I think my record for a un repaired kite was 7 days ..... oh the priceless memories I have
