Alexander Wurz, a formula1 pilot is a kiter as well.

And maybe one of the next presidents of the USA as well?
someone mentioned it in here that a senator is a kiter too, and he wants to run for election to become the president.
Sounds cool!

Some more celebreties out there kiting?

Yeah man it'd be cool if the whole world was dominated by kiters. Nothing like a foil/LEI debate to start WWIII.

Hey Toby,

Couldn't help to notice that he is using an X-Shooter, what are the chances you could get him to get the x-shooter logo put on his gloves, that way when he puts lewis down. it'll leave an impression on his face. :lol:

That's going to be a pretty hard fight, i hope he is able to kitesurf after the fight, that is if lewis doesn't break any of his bones, vertebra, etc.

Anyway, Traig Trumbo told me he taught the singer Sting to kitesurf, and i read somewhere that the dude from Money Train and Cheers, Woody ? also kitesurfs.

Sting? cool!

the other I don't know?!

The X on his glove would be certainly it! But way to expensive......

Eli, how about a poll who will win this fight?
I'm pretty sure it will be a very interesting fight.

Vitali told me that Lennox is afraid, therefore he didn't want to fight him.
I don't know if you followed the discussions before, since they had a contract, but Lennox didn't want to fight Vitali, bujt preferred to fight with Tyson, since he would get more money.
If he loses to Vitali, he doesn't get as much money as now.
So we will see....
But if Lennox wins, he surely will earn even more money.

We can watch the fight and chat meanwhile ! how about that?

Maybe we could all get boxing gloves for those days waiting for the wind!

We could make a ring from kites and have sparring matches!

:duh: :smash:
