Hey hey boyz,

Been a long time ,

Waynos I'm hearing ya brother, how many you got now ?, we've got a new one (boy) 3 months old on the 26th. I haven't kited in three years I think it is ? . I've still got some kites and I've been growing curious to come down for a session. Spend most of my free time prior to son arriving wake boarding these days.

Hi gruzi, the knees great ever since I stopped kiting, on the edge riding in chop really flogged it.

Puppet oh puppet, I only got banned once , isn't that correct Laurie ;) . By the way if I read this correct have you bought out choicey or something to that effect ?. Congrats if you have , I'm in need of foot pads for my board so I'l drop in and say hi ;)

Hey Laurie, mate the site looks fantastic great work buddy.

Where's Carl ?

Regards Rob

Aka, Browneee, Pseudonymous, Hunglong..........

Yep - rumours are sort of correct - but it is more of 'something to that effect'.
Not a purchase of the old 'choice' business but same basic brands; same shop but under a totally new (unrelated) business.
We are called 'Woodys Kite Surf & SUP"
Call in anytime. Be good to catch up.

I never left Perth ;). I changed jobs back in Oct 2006 which took me to Brisy & Singapore for a while, then my life changed dramatically. I left Best Kiteboarding as I felt I had nothing left to offer the company or the sport and bought a wake boat ;). The addition of a Son in Oct 2010 adding to the joy his older sisters bring me, is as you say fruitful :) . My eldest daughter (8) started kneeboarding for the first time last week, which has me so very proud. I remember watching and helping this very frustrated father with his daughter one day in Melville ;) ring any bells Gruzi ..... The joys of fatherhood.....

All in all I've always been here, Perths my home. some crew I ride with want to have a crack at kiting so no doubt you will see me somewhere around the usuall haunts .

Also is VB still alive and kicking ?

Regs Rob

Are you talking about VB man - who always would be sinking a stubby of VB out the back of his ute after a kite - like 9 years ago! ?? Are you still around?

Yeah VB, he drove a white troopy high top with air rush sticker on top.... He was a brickyard by trade and always had a beer in his hand .......

I actually never knew his real name........ Just as VB.

Yep that's him. Actually I asked advice about the 11.5m Lift before I bought it. Used to fly down at scabs now and then with him. Bloody character, top bloke.

Ah yes the days when all was new, gear was simplier (but far more dangerous) and you could do a downwinder from city beach to scabs and not see another kite the whole way!!

VBers still around.

Laying a bit low but gets out on his Vapours and Hammer.. and he still loves a VB.

EDIT:

lol - had forgotten about the China kite syndrome.

And all the bool**** that went down about Best being rubbish too. Man that was a whole lot of egg on know-it-all faces, Good times.

I got two classic C kite Yargas for vitually nix partially due to all the Best/C kites are rubbish nonsense. Ba ha ha ha

Man I wish i still rode those kites.

Hey Mr Long - what was your old script at the bottom (which is now defunct on SB), sumpin along the lines of "You're not trying hard enough until your knee goes POP!"

Geez I feel like a noob around here now.

VB (and a few of the old crew) were spotted at a remote beach on the weekend, ripping it up and getting some big air.

Got to wonder how he and a few of the guys I shared a beer with after the session went heading home, I assume being responsible drinkers (like me) they were all ok. I got breathalized as soon as I drove off the beach and over the dune, sure took me by surprise, but all was good.

Ahhhhh the good old days when I got paid to troll the forums and start stuff ;)

China kites .... They were fun days

Best kites .... They were even better days

I've still got three best kites

one is even an original "C" Yarga

I had some real fun on here back in the day, most at Laurie's frustration. Sorry Laurie .....
