I've seen 5 X2s do this, at around the 6-9 month age mark. The X3s seem to be made in a similar method. The X3s fly very fast and very close to the edge of the window; they need to be pumped up super hard to prevent jellyfishing. It will be interesting to see how the X3s last... I'm tipping that bec...

The "I love you" skater boy attitude implicit in this photo collage could kill our sport. The general public and the authorities are getting less tolerant of kiteboarding. Injuries, deaths, carelessness, aggro, and a "I love you" attitude is leading to bans all around the world. There is NO ROOM at ...

This is another pisstake of the forum by one of the sad, anonymous, bleeders who hang out with the "Australian Kiteboarding Mag" ed team.

You guys really are pathetic. f*** off and get a life.

Evidence that Ben Wilson and his team of subeditor claimers troll the forums: Ben Wilson himself wrote.... ben didnt slam oakley waterjackets in the latest kiteboarder mag he just had an apinionon on what they look like not how they work.he was just saying that they are out there and i tend to agree...

What is the hoop thing around his waist? How does it attach to the body and how does it let the shackle rotate around you? Where can I get one?

In the profile he refers indirectly to pissing in Jeff Tobias's drinks (pretty funny, huh?). He was also asked why...

Ben Wilson has continued on his "in-your-face" aggro moronic anal sex-obsessed crusade in the latest issue of "Australian Kiteboarder." Why the hell do we let Ben & his team of morons spout their preachy, sub-adolescent, fucked up bs at us? Maybe it’s time a "boycott Slingshot" campaign was s...

The "I love you" skater boy attitude endorsed by mag's like Australian Kiteboarder (Ben Wilson) and Kiteboarding Mag (Ryan Riccitelli) could kill our sport. It's evident in this immature post slamming the UK mag. The general public and the authorities are getting less tolerant of kiteboarding. Injur...

The above over-the-top posting in support of the Australian and American rags is from a representative of Australian Kiteboarder Mag.
