On the northern beaches of Sydney at least ,Home and away used to have regular shots (and references To) of kitesurfers during beach shots but for the last 5 years of La Nina (and lousy wind)there hasn.t been any . I remember a great event at Palmy years ago but nothing since (does anyone know what the fate of the ruby chracter is . The character seems doomed).apparently the cuurent doomed marina theme was originally mooted as a kitesurf resort but they had a change of heart.Yhe diner and the surf club had photos of kitesurfers doing massive big airs,board offs and gayleys but they seem to have been taken down.
The Abc has a show that had a kitesurfer as a character who has now been written out apperntly

Yeah, I think the australian public are tired of seeing gay sports in tv shows.

You dont see kiters on home and away any more cause Alf got the sh!ts with the mongrel bloody kiters kiteing near the surf club. Stone the flammen crows.

Wasn't that when Phelpsy called it a mickeymouse sport. That was the end right there.

+1 The theme music makes me cringe inside, television goes off a second later. Never watched more than a few minutes of it.

Also applies to Neighbours. How do people get emotionally involved with this stuff?

Bold and Beautiful (soon to be ex hasn't missed an episode in 15 years, maybe there's a correlation between that and 'soon to be ex').

Mash (clever, funny show with emotion, it's just that 'Suicide is Painless' theme music).

Knight Rider

Hart to Hart


Ok, enough this is getting embarrassingly confronting for me now.

Blue Water High - my daughter and I were addicted to it. One of the students was a champion kitesurfer in Chermany (sic). There was an episode where they filmed down at the mambo

If Alf is not into it, then maybe we should follow the great ones' wisdom.
