The mag is stronger than ever and Ben is no longer involved after doing a great a job to get it back on track. The advertisers are more than happy. We have a great team on board and look forward to another year of bring great content to the Australian Market.
Cheers Beaver

Thanks SUZE for the opportunity to promote our great mag on this forum. Oh and Suze please send some of your photos and bio so we can get you some publicity that you are so desperately seeking. It would be great to see how well you kite. You are obviously way better than Ben ....you just need the exposure!

So what does that say about Billy Boy Crang? A roundabout way of saying it fell off the track while he was editor. At least Billy Crang had basic clues about being an editor. Wilson's lack of education (high school dropout) was evident in his retarded grammar, spelling, syntax, etc.

Suze it obvious you need some counselling.

Have you tried called lifeline they offer some good services.
Here is a link to some help

PS good work on digging up forum posts from 2003 - that was really entertaining but far from relevant

Beavo, so what's the story with your put-down of Billy Boy Crang? Did the mag really go that much off the rails when he was in charge? We want answers. :mosh:

Maybe there is a lot of truth in it what Suze is telling us,
since Kitepower was illegally banned years back and not supporting and advertising in their Mag.
So I take all these with a grain of salt.

I don't like when Mags are creating a good impression for their advertisers,
like the ridiculous San Diego "light-wind" showdown domination................ :angryfire:
Because of that I stopped buying and subscribing anymore of these biased Mags,
since carefully I can get all the infos on the Internet and forums without any bias.

Kitepower has a ad in the latest issue.
