So now that we are an olympic sport can we do this too our local swimming pools?
Minor adjustments may be needed...
and yes i was pissed over the duration of this post so take it easy on the red thumbs
I thought we got kicked off the Olympics?

That thing looks pretty awesome though. Is it real? haha Any vids of it in action?
hmm.. if I was a tv network which would I want to cover, the amazing spectacle of kite raceboards doing 35 knots, with an ever growing global following and the obvious wow factor to even non sailors, or a sport that has clearly had it's day. I'm an avid windsurfer and even I could see the wisdom of kitesurfing in the olympics.
Maybe it's a venue thing? kiting not suited to the area? host nation not keen?
^^^ yah yah sorry man, yes he only did the last bit - so I guess you are talking about it being fatiguing huh? ..... but hey, windsurfers did over and back faster 10 yrs ago (plus) so that negates the fatigue argument
And ledge to lano was a longer course for windsurfers and they were still faster.
The record is Anders Bringdal at 19mins for one way. 22 years ago.
But cue Lotofwind and Hamburglar and Waveslave etc etc coming over to the poley forum to tell us we are slower, old, fat, out of date blah blah blah...
