When asked about the future of kiting in the movie 'Upwind - The Launch of Kiteboarding', Lou Wainman said " We won't even have kites. I think we'll have that arc shape, but we won't have lines, and we won't have boards. We'll go inside that bladder, so we'll have just like a wing..." Maybe some mad scientist kiters should get together with some of these wingsuit guys and see what happens! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4FEkK3LQJQ&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_977735&v=lxMBCWfDV5Q&src_vid=vNqx8XZIWnI Windian Since 28 Apr 2008 901 Posts Newport, OR NEWPORT OG Fri Dec 02, 11 10:55 pm     Sensory overload!!

Now golf, THAT is a leisurely sport! I don't know, I just read about this extreme-leisure-golf sport 'Golfmare'...: "AN angry golfer who hurled his club at a cart, missed, and instead hit his playing partner on the head leaving him with severe brain injuries, has had an appeal against his jail sentence dismissed. Daniel Patrick Betts was earlier this year jailed in Queensland for two years, to be suspended after six months, over the incident. In the District Court at Maroochydore, Betts admitted causing grievous bodily harm to Dane Parviainen on December 13, 2009. The court heard Betts, his father, Mr Parviainen and another friend were playing at the Noosa Golf Club. Betts was disgusted with a shot and whacked his wedge into the ground before turning side on and throwing it at a golf cart, missing and hitting Mr Parviainen. The impact left his friend with a fractured skull. Betts appealed against his sentence as manifestly excessive and argued to be released after three months."    765240-golf004.gif  DROCK999 Since 31 May 2007 852 Posts Left Coast Opinionated Sun Dec 04, 11 3:49 pm     ummmm....no _________________ BIP- "YOUR GIRLFRIENDS FAVORITE"        Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
