Well it depends who you ask. Alex Jones says he's from Kenya. :lol:

I think it's very cool that he's out there relaxing with Branson and he tried a new sport. I didn't see that Kerry's interest in the sport had any impact on our beaches, thus this likely won't either. Maybe it was just a lark, but hopefully he enjoyed it enough that he takes some time to get into kiteboarding. Influential people in the sport can be a good thing. Hopefully he had fun. :thumb:

Kerry's windsurfing & kiting was used by the GOP to portray him as an out-of-touch elitist ... & let's face it, Kerry was never cool.
