Just wondering what one would have to do to get kitesurfing banned at a particular beach.
What are the procedures involved ?
You know Slave - quite a few saw YOU the day you bum-dragged self-launched on your precious local beach, showing off to a couple of gorgeous teuro chicks and got smashed... Who else might YOU have taken out?
He should have used the waveslave launch pad (patent pending).
Did that invention ever take off.? pardon the pun![]()
I reckon the same move but with instead of backpackers invite you city councillors daughters and this time don't miss 'em. That ought to set the ball in the weird direction your looking for.
Hahaha Nude kiting should work Doc! Try borrowing some beachgoers towel after your sesh to make sure.
Hey as a noob I've never heard of Slaves pat pending Launch Pad.
Is this thing real? Is it good for landing?(My big difficulty at the mo)
Slave, any demo models avail on the cheap?
Don't know how Slaves "Launch Pad" works but here is what I do...
Step one... go kiting with a mate...
Step 2... Get mate to help launch kite...
Step 3... Go Kiting....
Never had an accident with a launch when using this technique...
If you do go somewhere and have to launch on your own... (not reccomended) or if, you are the good friend who launches the other dude first...
I keep a large sleeping bag cover in my kite bag. It has a rope and carabinha attached to it...
If needed, I fill it with sand, attach it to my chicken loop, pull in the depower strap and then walk my kite out to the edge of the window in the launch position.
It should just sit there boucning and ready to go....
Then walk/jog back to your bar, attatch safety line first, and then attach chicken loop.
Cheap method but make sure you have plenty of weight in the bag as it is surprising how much the kite will pull.
If you can't self launch safely you are a danger to society, has to be the easiest thing you can do, unless you are a complete kook.....
Too many lol replies here to quote quote quote. U know who u are. Pack of funny buggars. LMFAO repeatedly. One thing about Slave - he knows how to enthuse comedy.
I too missed the launching pad ![]()
Plooys explain ?
Fix My Kite have one - it's copiable by hooking a bit if rope to your tow bar![]()
Save urself $20.
I invented the 'launch-m-aid' way back in the early days.
It was a blow up doll with remote control hands. One press of the button and she'd let go of the kite.
Worked like a dream doll till Poor Rellie ran off with her.
Last I heard she had been kitted out with a whole lot of retro fit rude bits to be passed around at parties ![]()
They got it banned at Wellington Point in Brisbane by an over lit'er being dragged through the beach side cafe. Main issue was not paying.
