Safe as houses

I particularly like the line burns / missing fingers you would earn trying the "landing" technique.

Do windsurfers ever accidentally post in the kitesurf forum?

I know what you mean. Doesn't look too hard to understand what forum is what, but kiters seem to accidentally post here a lot. Nobody else does, no accidental fishing, SUP, surfing etc posts in Windsurfing - General

Maybe Laurie needs to rename the forum titles with text-speak and poor spelling

I had a kite once, it had a picture of a fire engine on it.

It's not actually a new style. Lou Wainman used short lines and used to stand on Kite Beach and throw his kite into the air. The only difference was Lou had his board on and landed on the water.

Yeah, yeah, riveting what you say.
However one way prefers the second clip (kite in the trees).
Way more entertaining.

Or like this WINDSURFING, GENERAL. I think kiters need block letters for the block heads

Accidentally as in a sport that has an entire forum devoted to stuff they've left behind at beaches.....www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Kitesurfing/Lost-Found/

Leaving things on the beach is understandable but some of them even forget where they left their boards while they're out on the water
