Onad when i say gay i mean the last definition you suggested... HOMOSEXUAL b : of, relating to, or used by homosexuals <the gay rights movement> <a gay bar> <footstraps>
synonym see LIVELY. Footstraps are used by homosexuals aka everyone slamming on bindings on this forum. Also last time I checked Sports Illustrated didnt really give to much coverage to snowboarding or wakeboarding, or skateboarding even.

As far as legitimizing kiteboarding... Snowboarders watch Skateboarding, and Visa Versa, Legitimate board sports feed off of each other. We need to appeal to the people doing other more popular board sports. Channel twelve news is not legitiamizeing shit, who that is going to take a big interest in kiteboarding is watching channel twelve news. As far as what kiteboard117 said, as far as I can tell I am the one doing something different, or if im not I wasnt aware that most people who kite ride bindings? I was stating my personal opinions about footstraps and for some reason you all had to take it personally and cry about me calling you homos. I ride bindings because that is what i like, and what is going to legitimize kiteboarding to people who matter.

OK Inept, so let me get this strait.

Your gona legitimize kiteboarding by calling 90% of the riders homosexuals while stomping around in your white rubber boots?

WHO CARES!?! its time to go out kiting and quit this crap. your not impressing the "people that matter" by insulting everyone. if thats how you want to ride im fine with it just dont tell me im queer because i dont.

I like talking shit on forums (even though I shouldn't) 'cause it makes me feel cool! And I can't even really say shit either because I'm sure 99.9% of the World's kiters are better than me, but whatever...

And Dano, you're fuckin' hilarious! Laughing

"This new shape is now available from Santa Cruz shaper Eric Roush and Cabal.
The Fire boards use the tried, true, and proven durable high-end thermal
pneumatic construction with PBT topsheet, ABS sidewalls and nose and tail blocks.
A round-pin outline works together with Roush's unique and mind blowing bottom shape.
The rocker is a finely tuned "tradtional" curve with a subtle tail kick and a concave located between your feet.
The slight concave adds lift and extended glide.
The molded in "grab rails" make holding on a sure thing and add stiffness to the 5/8" thick board.
This skim board is the fastest, most fun, most forgiving rail to rail ride for kiting we have tested ever.
Leave it to Cabal to create such a sick ride. "

I didnt say that I was going to legitimize kiteboarding, but I want to try as hard as I can to, no its not by calling all you gay, i was just making a statement, just ride what you like.

Strapless in waves or big river swell.

Ride the board, don't hang from the kite.

Then it's a board sport. -and legit.
