I am so bloody sick of these type of comments .They are having fun with kites and weird stuff (to you and other closed minded nobs) on their feet or under their bums .So what ! They live in a desert .If they were using mountainboards you would probably find something g a y s h i t about that too. go back to your cave d i c k h e a d

ahhhhh wake up call, kiteboarding IS g a y s h i t

^^^^and kitesurfing is lame?????? I must be gay, lame and sometimes I use training wheels, I unhook and sometimes send my kite to lunch...
I'm so depressed I tried to hang myself on one of the Crossbeams at the Indian Commonwealth games. Dont worry, I'm ok the roof caved in.

you watched the whole thing come out of the closet

Hey Peeps,

I had no real interest in kite buggying until a kind fellow in Byron way back in about 2003 lent me a ride in his buggy in about 15 knots of dead onshore breeze. From memory the kite was about a 4 or 5m foil on handles. It was also the first time I had ever flown a foil on handles.

The basic idea of the sport is easy and you could teach someone to buggy in about 1 hr to a fairly competent level. I dived the kite, took off at a rate of knots and to my astonishment kept accellerating until I was moving at a pace beyond my comfort level which was exhillerating. Every gust on top of that had the buggy's back wheels losing traction and the buggy getting a bit sideways as it accellerated further.

With your bum only 6 inches off the beach and doing more than 60kph and having about 70% control, I can tell you it was one of the most fun things I have done on land. Getting back was easy and it was instantly addictive.

A couple of years ago I tried Mountain boarding with big foils and that was great fun too, really enjoyable but crashes hurt a lot without wrist,elbow and knee pads. Much more difficult to perform tricks successfully than kiteboarding with much higher risk. You can't just plop into the water and let go if it all goes pear shaped

My point is, anything driven by a kite in good winds is awesome fun, don't allow your fear and ignorance hold you back from having a go. It's bloody awesome! The only gay or pathetic part of it is mouthing off and dissing it without having first given it a red hot go.

Try it, you may even like it!

Ok you've outed me .i wear a seat harness and don't use the leg loops it is old and ripped and looks stupid ,I have a preference for a strange skim type board with a thruster fin set up ,I don't do unhooked 'wakestyle moves ".I ride hooked in on the waves ,I like to do big old school jumps with the kite at noon ,I used to be seen regularly on doonas , and i'm gonna go out and get me some water sneakers and a grippy skatey board ,and to whoever red thumbed my last post it was a tongue in cheek comment and I actually reckon it was bloody good and a good investment of my time to watch and I tired to find the vid of a guy doing it on a kite that was posted here a while ago so I could repost it .And yes it is windy and I should be out there rather than sitting here posting this drivel but I've just had 6 days in a row on my magic red board in the waves ,it's too cold and I've gotta go to Sydney now

I have butter flat water at my local. The aussie$ has made a cool wakeskate $340.00. Im tempted

ha ha hook line and sinker.
