Do you ever wonder when you see some one exceptionally tallented at one sport, what they might be like at your favourite sport. Can you imagine a kite in the hands of this guy with a bit of practice!

Not so much saying he would, but, imagine if he could translate that talent to kiting, how good would he be?

Funny you should say that

I used to teach waterskiing at Cables when it was going 15years ago.
One day we had a couple of gymnasts turn up, never waterskiied before.
Both guys were up first time and did everything I said to the letter.
So next was single ski, again no problem.
Trick ski next, once again up with no probs but a little wobbly but after a couple of laps they were both into it and both went onto the fast session for the next hour.
Ive never seen anyone pick up waterskiing like these two blokes, it was amazing.

Kelly Slater is also very good at golf and plays of an even handicap last time I heard.
