I know, I know. What can I say, one video leads to another and then to another. It's endless. Here's a vid for our ole Grand Dad to watch while he shivers next to his radiator. Perk up Frosty, it features your beloved boat. I'll give it to you, the Laser is a joy to jibe...cough, cough, cough.

Kitesurfing Safety Rule Number 1: Don't Kitesurf Before, During Or After A Storm.

Can you say dumb? This hombre, caught on tape, got lofted and flew into a building during Tropical Storm Fay in Fort Lauderdale. OUCH! Pour me a strong one Barkeep, that had to hurt.

From Kitesurfing School:
"Getting lofted is one of the most serious dangers of kitesurfing. Due to the high power requirement of kitesurfing, a serious wind gust can send the kitesurfer upward if he/she has the kite park overhead. Getting lofted in the water is fun (it is normally called tea bagging). It is getting lofted on land that normally results in serious injuries or death."

Dog, I'm not getting into a peeing contest with you. I love multi-hulls!

But Dog, Finian used an F2 board when he broke the record. I own an F2 board! That means I can aspire to the world record. Ok, I admit that's highly unlikely! But I can tell you this, I can't even imagine spending the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ it takes to build a boat like the Hydroptere. So, what do you think is the better value?

Here's a video of Antoine Albeau setting the new world record back in March of this year.
