Funny....i am actually a "Near-Sighted" optician (i wear contacts kitesurfing)robertovillate wrote: So to poke fun at something without ever trying it is pretty short-sighted IMO - consider that when Bruno Legenoux sailed by all the windsurfers on the first inflatable kite many people shook their heads in disbelief and doubt.
Listen when i saw kiting for first time...
.. i "did not even think twice" and sold "all my winsurfing gear" the day i got my 5.0M Wipika
He had been windsurfing 22 years 10 to 15 times a month and still have zero regrets
My "head shock vertically"...YES YES this is it...I " believed" right away...without even trying first
This was sure to become the ultimate "wind and water sport of the future"
If something is awesome & essential "i will know without trying" & buy it right away (kiting was)
Otherwise i am not interested...and yes it makes me laugh deep down
