Hey Guys

Just wondering what anyone knows about the history of the first commercialised kite surfing kites ( wipika put a patent on the first inflatable kite in 1997 ). I am doing a school assignment on technology and how its developed and decided that seeing as pretty much 99% of the class is doing an iPhone I would do kites. So decided that at the speed that kites developed at such a fast rate and were virtually non-existent before the 90's then why not. So I am looking for any input ( preferably not negative ) as to your personal experiences or just what you know. Everything even what kites were like (don't say death trap).

Cheers Guys

Just a bit of FYI for your assignment.

Progersion Progression and Devlopement Development....

HI! JUST SEARCH IN THE ARCHIVE. AWILE AGO THERE WAS A GUY FROM CANADA WHO WANTED TO DO THE SAME THING. CS

don't forget that kitesurfing started before inflatable kites.

it started in delta style stunt kites.

Years ago now, I did my disertation at Uni on the forces Provided by leading edge inflatable kites in the research that was done prior to the investigation. I descovered that it was the Chinese who were the first to harness the power of kites to help tow rafts over great lakes.

There is information out there.

Doctor, are you F*cking Retarded?

I know this kid personally, I believe he's only 13/14 yrs of age. So he made a few typo's, grammar may be a little off.....WHO CARES!!!! We could all understand what he wrote even with few spelling mistakes.

His hearts in the right place, i believe hes done a good thing picking a topic for his assignment somewhat different to what others would have chosen his age. like he said most of them picked iphones and **** like that.

My guess from your name, your a doctor, probably only a scummy GP, that types symtoms into a computer and it pops up on the screen for you! think your all that bag of chips! Pull ya f**king head in! Hope you feel real big, nit picking on a kid for a few little spelling mistakes, When he just asked for a bit of help.

mayeb next time a bit of constructive critisism instead.

Ps: Good work andy for having a crack and nailing it with an A, seeya on school holidays if im not away at work mate.

Woops few spelling mistakes, better tell me how much of a failure i am.
