Almost funny. If you haven't tried it yet Mick I suggest you do. Have never been as fit as since starting wing dinging. And that pays off when kiting too. Agree looks crap but then again most of us look pretty weird tea bagging as well.

70 plus is a good age for u dinngers it suits u well eppo :)

Ah you guys don't know what your missing - you forget I know what you are doing.

Not sure if you do dude

Haha Michael and Eppo you are both very good kiters no doubt. While Cauncy is just bored as we have a rare shyte wind phase. No point in measuring tool lengths. Fact is (and I have been kiting since 2006 too) that wing dinging is surprisingly awesome. And more surprisingly an amazing workout. So those who think kiting is not just fun but requires or fosters physical strength, perhaps rethink and try winging. If not, don't whinge about back pain, tennis elbow and whatever other girly things I am reading on the kite forum ;-)

All good brother. Did have a nice wave kite session at observatories down Esperance way this summer. But yeh that's about it. Might add a big boosting XR, rebel or edge down the track one of these days. Kiting still has its time and place.

Yep kiting still has it's place. Sub 12 knots on a foil and above 30 knots for some boosting. Both to let the muscles rest a bit from winging.

Here's a song for the all the ladies around the world.
