Let's just hope he has an easy and full recovery.

Yes, my health insurance covers kitesurf injuries-I know from experience. Plus short term disability insurance.

Kitesurfing in gusty conditions is quite safe with foils on handles. The safety is when you dump the kite it has no more power and more importantly doesn't bounce back up into the air. I find foils safer in higher gusty winds for their quick "depower" i.e. crash the kite and you have no more power.

this interview is more painful than the incident video.

a little incoherent, i believe a medicated moment, plus a closed head trauma, add in the media circus and it is just hard to watch and really listen. I LIKE TO RIDE TOO. HE CHOOSE POORLY THAT TIME. but this interview lets us know he has not learned.

hungry for attention, the media was there!!!!!!!!!
that closes the deal before it happens!
then, full circle to a ridiculous interview. they both got what they wanted.

new word GLAMORON INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO SAY YES TO THE MEDIA DESPITE THE SEA OF CHOICE AND REASON YOU ARE GIVEN

Most people would assume thats the RIGHT and SAFE choice. If you didn't notice either, they are in no particular order just random thoughts. COMMON SENSE ONES I'm sorry if you don't have the abilities to kiteboard with handles. I use both bars and handles on land AND in water, when the conditions call for it. I could care less if I lost my kite if it ended up saving my life and keeping me from FLYING 100 YARDS INTO A BUILDING BECAUSE IM SO STUPID IM FLYING A 9 METER KITE IN 60-70 KNOT WINDS STRAPPED IN! Yeah! OK! Oh and I may not know you too well KiteNH but I do know you should go watch the damn interview then come back here and put in your two cents once you know the whole story because this guy most likely DISGRACED everything you have ever stood for as a responsible kiter or human being in general. If not, then your just as bad as he is. You don't need years of experience with kites in order to know when someone has ruined something for everyone, that ALSO fits into that # 4 column, COMMON SENSE. Easy there killer. If you kite surf on handles then you must know that it isn't very common and still probably isn't a great suggestion for the masses. Also kiting on handles wouldn't give you any depower at all which may not be great for gusty hurricane conditions:tumble:. Just out of curiosity what kite do you kite surf with on handles? I'm fairly certain that this kiter fellow didn't disgrace everything that I have every stood for as a human being. I don't need to watch the video to find that out. I do want to watch the video, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. My mom saw it and got a kick out of it when the weatherman went off on the guy.

My apologies if it came off as a flame post. I wasn't demeaning towards NJ so I personally didn't think it was a flame. I only stated that he should view the video he is defending before doing so... because supporting statements for why Kevin is not a complete dip#@%$#! are falling on deaf ears!
Besides I thought this was a forum, isn't the whole point of a forum to learn, ask questions, and state your opinion?
My other statements were towards KitemazingKevin !!!

People like Kevin do stupid #@%$#!, rack up bills/consequences, then expect others to pay for their idiocy! LOOK AT HIS WEBSITE! WHY ARE PEOPLE SENDING HIM CASH???
HE IS NOT A VICTIM OF SEPTEMBER 11th, SEND THEM SOME MONEY INSTEAD! When was the last time any one of those contributors to his site gave money towards the genocide in Darfur? Animal Rights? Feed the Children? I bet barely 1 out of 100 of those people sending Kevin money have ever donated to any one of these charities.


CMON MANKIND! THIS IS THE KIND OF PEOPLE YOU WANT TO HELP? YOU WONT GIVE THE BUM ON YOUR CORNER A DOLLAR BECAUSE YOU THINK HE'LL SPEND IT ON LIQUOR/DRUGS BUT IF YOU GIVE KEVIN A DOLLAR HE'LL USE IT TO GET WELL AND VENTURE INTO ANOTHER HURRICANE AND WIND UP DEAD. Whats the difference here between Kevin and the Krackhead Bum? None I tell ya, none. Except Kevin may or may not be sleeping in a cardboard house...




Why would you assume I was flying a depower kite on handles? I'm talking about my cheapo - the Ace 8.0. No depower AT ALL. Lake Michigan's onshore winds work great for launching from and staying close to land!!! I end up doin that when I let my non-kite owning friends to play around on the Fuel 13... or when I'm too scared to use it

I only own 3 kites An 06 Fuel 13, an older Beamer 3, and the Ace 8. All but the Ace I bought used. Friends are taxing on the wallet lol

I'm sending Kevin a Darwin Award by mail :singing:
