However, those lucky bastards had some hotties for their kite caddies! barfly Since 31 Mar 2005 1214 Posts Portland BRACKISH Thu Apr 18, 13 8:42 am     Some things don't change though. Like the chicken butt. Steezy!    chickenbutt.JPG  bulae99 Since 12 Jul 2006 1691 Posts I give out bad advice.

Can you imagine the wrecks these guys must have had getting the skills up on those kites? Amazingly fun stuff, _________________ Hey, I'm being hahahahahrassed!

I'm dating myself but I used to spend hours flying those flat-kites in the 80's, they are awesome. You just have to be sure the throttle man is your best pal because he controls your altitude. We used to mount an extra throttle facing backwards in the boat so he could watch you and another guy could steer. We even used to put agirl on top of the kite and they would do the wing-walk while you flew. Try that with your LEI.
