I hope the quick release works really well for when they drive under power lines.

What's black and crispy and hangs from a wire?

Best in the outback where there aren't a lot of trees..unfortunately not a lot of customers out there either.. What do they do when they come to a tunnel? Hope its downhill..?

Seriously I imagine someday we might get some sort of car that incorporates both solar cells and wind turbines to generate electricity to run the car. Could an engineer or science person out there tell me whether having a small wind turbine, for example in the front grill if it would generate more power than the amount of power needed to overcome the drag it creates?

Perhaps I'm talking about a perpetual motion machines which breaks some laws of physics or something.

What if they need to go upwind, do they have to tack up the road?

I fixed that up for you.
Your punctuation is really shocking by the way.
You should put a full stop at the end of each sentence.
If our generation follows in the old generations foot steps, it may explain why the youngen's cant punctuate properly.

On flat water that is, as in the waves we give way to polies who can actually use the waves well.

Over on the East Coast we give way to who is on the wave so as not to wreak the riders wave.Wheather they are a poledancer or kiter dosent make a difference.
Even if they are a learner(kiter or poledancer) trying to get into riding waves we give them right of way.
We all started somewhere.
If everyone gave way to the person who thinks they ride waves better,Mr mark, then no one would give way to anyone.
Maybe that's the problem you have over in the old west.

I thought it quite obvious I was making a joke in response to your joke, but you seem to be having a dig

Well, no, that is not the problem in the West. The problem here is the fact that your utopian eastern states rule doesn't happen here. If it did, it would be wonderful

Yes Nebbs I agree - in the first few sec he performs his inside turn, then whilst heading out he turns onto a wave that already has somebody riding it. Totally in the wrong.

But be careful Nebbs, if you criticise one kiter for one fail to give way you'll be hunted down in every forum and annoyed by banal replies.... yes even forums you'd never think were trolled by NSW kiters

I can't believe I'm getting involved but your spelling makes Mark's punctuation look awesome!
The word is wreck, not wreak, and the word is spelt whether, not wheather. Doesn't has an apostrophe and Mark has a capital letter to start!! How is the view from your glass house???

You guys can see things that dont even happen.The poledancer isnt even riding the wave,he is just crusing along towards the beach on the shoulder in the way.Or is that what you call riding a wave?
If he is not actualy riding waves he should head right down wind in the channel out of everyones way.
The kiter wasnt riding the wave either,,he was out filming others riding waves.Thats why he stopped filming when the dancer mowing the lawn came into shot.
