That happened here a year or two ago, to a teacher of using these giant kites for sufing and blowkarting.

He was badly smashed up against the sea wall, dragged and smashed some more, broke just about every bone he had, but lived to tell the tale and to pass on those genes.  I donot know how it just does not happen more often

For some odd reason that link freezes my PC for several minutes and does not open.

Its time to rethink the harness idea....LMAO!  ;D

As you can see - Paul works REALLY hard all day long... my arse!  ;D

 RHETORICAL QUESTION COMING UP......


Why does every idiot under the age of 25 think they are bullet-proof?

Hey, it was on my generous five minute lunch break.

Don't you have some eye on newt or toad tongues to cook up?

Because the vast majority of them have not:

a) been forced into bed with a grave illness or recovering from surgery, or

b) had a friend or loved one wither away before their eyes.

That kind of experience only comes with age. There are exceptions, but only a few.

I also have a theory - there's a reason that days seem to go on forever when you're a kid, and fly by in the blink of an eye when you're old. Stick with me on this.

Subconsciously, we're aware that we're most likely going to die somewhere between 70 and 90 years old. When we're kids, each day represents only a tiny fraction of all the time we have left. So life goes on and on and on, seemingly forever. But as we near the end of our lives, each day represents a larger percentage of the time we have left. If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, can you imagine how quickly today would go by?

And this is REALLY why kids think they're bullet-proof. They have a very limited view of the bigger picture.

Okay, that was wayyyyy too deep for this time of the morning. Oh, coffee boy - filler up!

I know you said "RHETORICAL", but the key word is "idiot"...

Thought (or lack thereof) for the day.
