"Is that thing filled with helium? I was wondering how it stayed in the air."

What plane did you jump from.

Tammy and I were asked by a lady at Cocoa Beach if we were pro's. LOL


It was really windy yesterday and you weren't in your office, did you go out riding?

Got a little light wind kiting in over the holiday weekend, and about 5:00 the wind spiked up like 20 something..I b lined straight in because i was on a 15 and there was an approaching squall. after safely landing some Drunk guy that was hanging around wanted to try holding it in the beach insisting he was a surfer and can handle it..( No we didn't let him near it ..)

Have you guys ever had some overweight non athletic looking people asking for lessons ?? We get that all the time in Florida...
What are these people thinking ???

Best one I have got from drunk rednecks here on PC Beach.

"Hey! Is those yours kites, or can you rent them from one of those rent shed thingy's."

Drunk rednecks jump out of his chairs starts running towards me with a beer in his hands yelling "Hey wait up, I want to try that!"

Best one of all!
While kites are sitting on the beach, "How much ya'll rent them tents for?"

Maybe if they got into the sport they would lose weight....
Or is kiting only for tiny guys?

Don't be quick to judge, I am an "overweight non athletic looking person" who has taken kiting very seriously and kites all the time. I understand there are limits but I am 280lb and can cruise upwind in 14mph.

I have seen people give the "This is to extreme for you attitude" to people asking about the sport. It would be a lot nicer to share your love of the sport and point them in the right direction (lessons). Rather than assume they are not athletic enough.

Yeah these some of these people will never throw a handle pass.... But there is a lot more to the sport than wakestyle tricks

There are dumb statements, then there are dumber actions. How many people have had someone try to grab their bar or actually do so? What happened? This has had some nasty consequences at times even though the bystander may have been trying to "help".

I was going to post that rick.....so many times i have had people walk up and be talking and grab the bar.....unreal

a short funny story:

A guy came up to me and asked what i was doing. I had the kite up. I told him i was fishing. He said bull shit, i told him look i dont car what you think, i go out there look for fish and scoop them up with this kite , thats why its this shape. Again he said bullshit, how can you hold them. I explained the theory of the bucket of water and spining it around and the water doest come out. No i had him a bit, i told him to wait on the beach and i would be dumping fish there. i went out riding, messing around, getting the kite low to the water ect.... he was there for like 20 mins

one of the other local kiters walked on to the beach and was watching, he said something to the guy like, he having fun...huh?

guy said i dont know about fun, but this guy sucks at fishing


so the point, people will belive anything!.........like saying its an easy sport and dont take lessons
