Is it me or this particular clip keeps coming back every other week ?

Anyways, sounds more like a reason to drop the sport altogether if I had been around...

They look like euro-trash precursors to Abba...

Strange clip. The front image is ABBA. Looks like the clip has been made up by that American who used to write a lot of windsurfing articles, then swapped to kitesurfing and then started badmouthing windsurfing. Whenever anyone had a go at him he said he wasn't being critical with his windsurfing is cancelled motto.

The clip shows what sort of mentality he has.

Yeah, a mentality that's cerebrally irritated, with an added inferiority complex to boot

PS: And this is why so many others took up windsurfing in recent times
PPS: I know it's been linked many times previously, but some might not have seen it yet

If they took up windsurfing because they expected a lot of hot chicks sailing around looking like that they would have been very disappointed..

Can Kiteroam tell us of any kitedangling songs?

Check out www.rubenpetrisie.com/ for some great windsurf songs.

My personal favourite of coarse is windsurfing's dynamite. It is the only song I know that mentions kiteboarding


I'm feeling inspired to write another one,already have the title-"Those who can't gybe,kite"
Laughing to myself as I think of ideas for video to go with it

Aaah windsurfing is a great visual sport. Seen her vid about how to mix cement? She is definitely talented, imagine windsurfing or cement mixing in stilettos, I couldn't do it.
