FYI, any unicorn worth his horn would not be caught dead using a kiteboard crutch.

Kiteboard= $600
Go Joe Pro = $200
Cost of showing the world you spent $200 to look like a homo... Priceless.

From the Ocean Rodeo web site:
As you can imagine, once we commit to the final production moulds changes are tough to make so we want your feedback!

Is this a product you want to see produced?

What was your immediate reaction to this concept?


Monkey's made his thoughts clear, anyone else?

I have used an original GoJoe and it really saved me in a couple of situations. Doesn't look cool, but I don't give a sh** what people think. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I avoided a couple situations early in my learning progression where I might have needed assistance getting the board and my lack of style kept those around me from having to interrupt their session to help me out.

I would not pony up the cash for this futuristic Storm Trooper GoJoe. But I have to ask you MonkeyBoy ... If someone does, how does it affect you? (Other than perhaps not needing to help a "noob" in distress out)

Sure it is a waste of money when a $5 wheel barrow tire does the same thing, but who cares?

Enjoy your time on the water and let others enjoy theirs without being persecuted as a "HOMO". Such a respectful choice of words on many levels.

oooooh, taking the moral high road I see "judge not lest you be judged". I guess I could quote scripture as well "let he who has not used a go jo cast the first stone".

Everyone's entitled to their opinion dude. Do I care if you have a gojoe on your board? No. Never said I did. Mocking the gojoe is somewhat of a time honored tradition. In all seriousness though, there is a very good discussion on the new go joe hero here:

Classy posts MonkeyBoy.

By the way ... didn't click on the link because I saw the address when I hovered over it. And even if I did, I wouldn't find it funny because I matured after the age of 12.

Have a great weekend.
