aimed specifically at loco4olas
and to everyone else that reads this i apologise for my harsh tone in
advance
NO i aint a tough guy
i got Spina bifida and I laugh at that,and im dyslexic as well and
laugh at that to
will that do for you??? ..
(richard)
it is my disability that pushes me to enjoy myself and do these
things..IT HAS NOT TURNED ME INTO A FULL CRIPP YET BUT IT WILL.
OR am i supposed to sit in a bath chair on Hastings beach with a
blanket warped round my legs with all the other cripps??pleading with
god everyday to kill me now.
while i can, i will do all i can, for excitement and fun.
WHEN i can not stand no more to surf walk or ride my bike,
i can go back to my buggies or get a kite boat,give up climbing, and
carry on paddling,
things you can do with useless legs.
I wont be entering no ruining events.
Something i aint going to do is whine and bitch that i can not walk no
more.
crawl into a hole and say woe is me my life is over .
FCUK THAT

i came for advice not a lecture of some snotty nose rich kid
I was NOT laughing at a mates death or any ones for that matter. (i
did not know him but that is beside the point)
it was a recognition of the kites power.

you got no adventure ?
THE type of guy that hangs about on beaches that puts his kite up,
and never launches it?
with the excuses there is not enough/to much wind or you don't have
the correct kite with you or wrong set up cord to long /short
sitting on the beach full of your own self importance,
with the latest gear and board fashions.
AND without the balls to say what you say on line in real life.
you get people like that in all sports.
its like people that go to the gym to socialise,not to work out and
disturb you, when your trying to.

Question to you.
who taught the first guy to try kite surfing? or did he just "have a go"
where would the world be without pioneers?
no invention would have ever been invented with out the men to test
them (perhaps invented but not tested.) and you would not be on this
thing running of ya mouth

i go free climbing and white water kayaking in spain round la
coruna(galica)costa del morte (coast of death) as well.
so what's wrong with that in your opinion? you are bound to have one
your type always do.
nobody taught me to climb either,but im in e/3-4 climbing grades and
started off bouldering.
purchased a nice pair of mythos boots and headed for wales

sombody did teach me to Eskimo (ops sorry Inuit) role in me boat.
I had the 8th EVER DUEL LINE KITE SOLD IN UK (peter powell)in about
1973/4/5.(i forget exact date im getting old)it had the serial no of
8, wooden strutted yellow plastic bag type efort thing.
I got it from peter powell`s house before he had a factory and was a 1
man operation.
OH yes i tried paragliding as well but didn't like it.
im not saying any of this to try and make myself out to be a action man,
i aint,on the contrary,
but i will have a go and try anything once. twice if i like it .

you got one life no rehearsals,
live it,
how ever you want,
as long as you dont harm, mess, or interfere with others lives unless
they want you to.
OR You can sit on the beach watching every one ells

what's wrong with excepting death as part of life?
AND no i don't want to die or do i have a death wish.
its the only guarantee from the day your born in it,death.
As for laughing at it,what's the alternative crying about it? why
would you do that?

SO if you carnt say any thing constructive please stay silent as a
closed mouth gathers no foot.

sorry to the rest of you a noobie to the groop having a go at a regular
and if i get booted so be it.
but i aint a noobie to kites (about 35 years exp) the power of kites
or flying 4 lined kites.
just to bar flying and setting the thing up.
i understand water currents,thanks to kayaking from the age of 8 and a
bit of surfing (not much granted).

if nobody is prepaid to help that's fine.but i aint as mad as the
Italian that took it out in 150 mts swell was it?
then bit the bullet.
i would think 4 or 5 times before taking my boat out in that,
and i got loads of exp at that in Canada,Wales,Spain,France just to
name a few and nearly every beach i visit wherever it is.
sorry but (that richard) annoyed me.
