Re: Kite Surfer Thrown Video
I just saw that on the news. I guess some people do not understand a gale force winds warning!

Re: Kite Surfer Thrown Video
I've kite surfed. I'd say that's real. I've seen similar experiences first hand. My first experience, I got dragged 30 feet down the beach and into the side of a truck.

Re: Kite Surfer Thrown Video
People who get hurt doing stupid things get what they deserve.
And I can say that because as an extreme sports enthusiast, I've been there, done that. And on more than one occasion I might add. And when the smoke cleared and the blood dried, I had only myself to blame. |

Re: Kite Surfer Thrown Video
heres a good one, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gv96Z...eature=related
In all seriousness though being involved in extreme $h!t all my life, I like to take alot of the drill/redundancy/train/inspect/etc mentality to these activities as opposed to finlys spicolli/dousch nozzel attitude, weather its kitesurfing in brazil or 300'sw in sat mode. Accidents like these ruin it for calculating and articulate folks everywhere else. hope "k" pulls through ok. I know the squalls down in fla from a tropical depression let alone a hurricane down in fla can be extreme like averaging 20-25 sudden gust to 40-50= but solid noreasters up here blowing a solid steady 35 with the right size kite is pure blissLast edited by Bone Saw; 08-20-2008 at 10:44 AM. |
