BobM Posted November 20, 2009 Report Posted November 20, 2009 Does being a current member of XK count for the sunnies? Quote
Fecal Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 The new Mag looks great Kitemag has come along way since the first edition keep up the great work. The Fecal stories are awesome Quote
koma Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 Received and already passed it around the house for everyone else to have a read. Great mag with some great photography! A couple of points came up during reading though... 1. PFD's? Are they now a legal requirement or just 'an essential piece of kit'? 2. I think you should have printed 'DON'T WEAR A BOARD LEASH' in larger font on page 35. Oh, and lastly... Can you please stop publishing articles about locations with gloriously white beaches, crystal blue water and smooth consistant winds. It's making your readers depressed about their local conditions.

RALKITE Posted November 21, 2009 Report Posted November 21, 2009 this issue was a great read and especially the Fiji article. Fiji and Safari Lodge are a big part of my kiting year, having been going there since 2004. We have watched it grow and The last 2 weeks of August each year is when I take a group there for a brilliant packaged Kiting holiday. In Fact many of the outer reef kiting spots and downwinders were pioneered by myself and warren. some of the best spots were found by accident on the big Village to Lodge downwinders (6hrs) and some of those I finished in the dark with only the porch light of Safari lodge to guide me as I rounded the last headland into the home bay. Keep up the good work Kite mag. Quote
Kite Mag Posted November 22, 2009 Report Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for your comments. Just to Clarify. It is not yet mandatory to wear a PFD. However, Marine Safety Victoria strongly recommend that they are worn. Sunglasses, anyone can enter. It doesnt matter if you are a current or new member to Extreme Kites. Thank you again for your feedback. Ohh Fecal....your stories are shit Just kidding mate, cant wait to read the next one! Quote

nigel Posted November 23, 2009 Report Posted November 23, 2009 Being a land crab, I'd like to see more land based kiting action, but it's always good to get free kite mags!!! Quote

I want to know who the fastest landcrab in oz is. seriously, i would love more content from land kite community and believe it only enhances my mag.

Goz Posted November 24, 2009 Report Posted November 24, 2009 You could always do a write up on the stupid things drunken kiters do at night Quote

mojo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Kite mag eh? So all I have to do is post up something about what I think of the magazine huh, and it's a random draw. Well I don't know the mag, never laid eyes on it before, havn't a clue, so I have it's probably good, lots of sucking up going on. Actually no, I tell a lie, I have a copy downstairs someplace, predominantly kitesurfing. i bought an issue for the graphics and nothing else. They've got good artists working for them - was a source of inspiration at the time. I know the specs tho, Dirty dog sunnies are also on some bike sites. Here's a bug in your eye Quote
sinbad Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 without having to suck up to anyone or anything - works for me. Or you could be less of an arse (I know that's difficult) and provide some feedback so George can take this on board to improve the next issue. I guess the competition just got a little less random.

I guess the competition just got a little less random. So, you're saying it's not a random out of the hat then Sinbad?? Just for your benefit, Sinbad and for George, I actually remembered my copy of Kite Mag, for the edited reasons above. For other readers, the horses ass reference was part of my original message and you can read some of it above. Quote
mojo Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Poor Sinbad, calm happy thoughts chook. So you reckon a pair of dirty dogs are gonna fit over top of my specs ok? Quote
scopeman Posted November 27, 2009 Report Posted November 27, 2009 Is KiteMag now available a as a PFD Don Quote
jdhot Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 It's a cool mag, But have to agree with Nigel, more diversity ie; landkitings etc will have to talk to G about writing articles and me taking some pics Still a Great job guys JD Quote
Peter Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 if this is the place to enter this compitition, i am here, if not, where is it? kitemag, i receive my issue, read it, then pass it on to a 'kitesurf share house', who for some reason cant get a copy, and they all love it. i end up getting something back, that looks like used toilet paper, but still readable. its a shame as i was hopeing to collect every issue printed (in good condition) what do i like most about kitemag, the australian content. love ya work george. PS, will we ever see Fecal in a kite buggy, or would he/she/IT shit it self? Quote
Fecal Posted November 28, 2009 Report Posted November 28, 2009 Fecal would love to have a go in a kite buggy as long as you don't mind having the linger of S**T in it. What do you think Gorge Quote
