I don't think head trauma usually increases the IQ , so why not do it again. His mom must take some pills. he probably read on wikipedia that he was a safe distance ....

Every kitesurfer who has seen this video is outraged by Kevin's total disregard for safety and endangerment to others. Safety is the primary subject in professional kiteboarding instruction. His actions have seriously damaged the sport's reputation and public image. Kitesurfers are afraid this will lead to bans at public beaches. Please contact me to discuss this with a professional kitesurfing association. 500 character limit unfortunately. I hope to bring them in contact with the CGKA if that is alright. Maybe that way we can undo some of the damage Here is the link if you'd like to ask them as well: http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3271346&cat=Good%20Morning%20America    Thanks bro.jpg         Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5  Next Page 4 of 5   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
