Fly, fat-ass, fly!

An aside during an online conversation with someone very involved with the Japan kiteboarding scene lead to the conclusion that given we're the same height, if I'm heavier (which I am) than his 97kg then ...

I AM THE FATTEST KITEBOARDER IN JAPAN

:puzzled::o:ticking::piggy::piggy::lol:

Something to make my mother very proud indeed :o can honestly say though that I'm NOT THE WORST kiteboarder in Japan :lol: that award goes to the guy who keeps "LEI auto-zenth"-ing his Cult and parking it in the trees ... or maybe the guy who can ride directionals but can't relaunch his kite :lol:

You have HOOOOOJ ones for admitting to this. At my hieght and wieght I may be one of the skinniest buggiers at 6'3" 190lbs. But I think Riccardo still has me!!

It's not something like poor personal hygiene that can be solved by a quick bath is it :lol: better to accept and move on slowly towards the solution. And certainly in Japan, you can't expect to hide among the bushes and rely on the politeness of people to protect your sensitive feelings :lol:
"Oh look a gaijin! Wow you're fat! How much do you weigh!" etc

I have been asked if I was a sumo wrestler before...hence I am not a freestyle buggier:moon:

My friends fly a kite and jump.

I fly the same kite and I feel like the lines are stretching to oblivion.

So of all the kiters in Japan you rank number one for size eh?

Tell me when you hit the lake you repeatedly yell "I'm number 1! I'm number 1!"

I sure as hell would.

Kamikuza - 23-11-2010 at 05:25 AM

Apparently. The guy I was talking to said he's 94kg and of all the people he knows who kite in Japan - which is apparently a lot - he's the heaviest. And I'm heavier than him, ergo ... etc.
I've seen a few guys of my 'build' around but of course they're much shorter :D so I doubt they stray into the post 100kg range like moi :lol:

Number one, baby yeah! :lol: Finally number one at something :o

... good thing is, I need less kites to cover a wider wind range :D
