oooooh aaaaaahh

hehe....are they for real?

hey haircut think you'll make it down to yamba?

WTF?

I want one Although, I am not sure why

Is this where kiting has its roots

these things are called (if I remember rightly) a wind weapon and i think were invented by a yank who used to sail at the gorge. The idea is that once the sailor got some air the wing was swung horizontal above the sailors head and they literally " Flew" . They still required board speed and a good ramp (unlike tea-baggers) and they got HUGE airs...

Haven't seen one since the mid 80's....

Wind Weapons were gay.

Yep we all agree they were gay.

and just like the Wind Weapon, in another 20ys they will all be saying kiting was gay too.

and windsurfing will still exist .......... unlike hanging upside down under a bar that resembles what millions of kids do in a primary school playground every recess

speaking of gay - nice warick kapper shorts, nice side parting not sure about the "risky" comb-over on the dude with the blue hangglider.

waveslave, if thats gay, i thought you would be a pro?[}:)]

LOL!!!!!
They also use them on snowboard set-ups on the slopes.

gybing would be **** loads easy, all u would have to do is flick the sail/wing thing over your head and change your feet. They look like they could break pretty easy but.

Waterstarting would be a pig if you missed
