once, when I was at the pub
this crusty old weather beaten windsurfer
kept going on and on
about how kitesurfers were a bunch of wankers
I never understood what he meant,then
truth be told i swore on my life to never kite surf i only wanted to fly stunts and power kites because kitersurfers were all wankers with fast sunglasses, but i ended up doing a construction job near the ocean for a few years and had nothing better to do so in the water i went, soon realised it was all fat old bald white guys so i fitted right in and here i am. i never did get the fast sunglasses tho but i nearly ended up with some pink lensed goggles luckily the company went bankrupt and i couldnt actually get my hands on them thanks blue eye
as for the video, am i right in guess that thats the new cab custom and chaos at 1:55 ? harness hook appears regular so must be right? sticking with the bluey grey scheme of the customs recently (still preferred my gloss black and neon orange with silver trimming 2010) those fins look even smaller then 25mm ?!?! 15's?? meaning the rockers been reduced by 10? very tuff to tell in these artsy videos
when can we expect the tech spec vids keahi ?
and more importantly when are you going to make it to manila nsw ?
am i right in thinking that the blue and red colour scheme kites only exist so that everyone with 2 working eyes chooses the dreary wallpaper brown and beige instead? seriously the colours of these kites is shocking. i know everyone complained about the flouros etc but i quite liked them. i think design wise there has been a bit of a mix up. we went from surf t's just having the brand name slashed all over the bloody clothes in triple digit font size and then all this retro surf wear started selling with bland colours and silly little pockets that looked like a feature wall in the chook shed from left over fence paint. now you guys have kept the obscene logos forgone the minimalistic style and kept the bloody half tins of garden fence paint and run with it. if you ever want to know how what colours to use just look at some graffiti they are masters of the colour wheel and they can make the cheap paint pop amongst the more expensive glosses with the big walls.
anyways the kites colour wise look like poo but it looks like the chaos bar got left alone and the custom is even more ride able on a kite then its predecessors that were just to draggy recently. so im happy. if i had the money id go a custom and chaos combo again h3's are becomeing more appealing to me then the ronix1's to glad the velcros stayed but i was hoping for some 3m duallock by now (wheres all that rnd $$$ going shoulda been duallocking for years)
