Default Kiting is extreme?

Sometimes, if you want it to be.....

Try going for your morning jog and being chased full speed by a BIG, pissed pit bull that obviously wants to eat you.
G'da#$ it.....

I (barely) out ran the beast (50 yard dash) and hopped on top of a car to avoid his gaping jaws.
Now that was an extreme wake up call and I have never run into a sea creature nearly that bad ass.

Stupid dog (owner) letting it out off the leash. I hate to think what would have happened if he caught me.
He wasn't playing around.

C'mon, give the dog a break!

Think about it...if you were a dog and your olfactory nerves were overstimulated by a walking-talking Wendy's Big Bacon Classic...what would you do???

True.

If you notice I never blame the dog. I blame the owner.
It was pretty scary.

Kite boarding is about as extreme as water skiing... it is what you make it

You can ride back and forth and do little jumps like an old lady, or you can throw it hard. But as E-Bone would say, make sure it's a check you can cash. I know I have bounced several heh.

Sounds like you almost cashed that dog owner's check!
