If Shaan is the second best kiter in auckland -don't say much for you fellas in the north does it!!!! - come south and we'll bring ya up to speed!!

who is the best kiter in NZ?

Gavin? Aaron Smith? Kane rides hard when he gets on the water...

I guess we won't know until the next Nationals or Titles or what ever they will be called...

attention - all wilfully ignorant morons: if you're sharp enough to read without moving your lips, you know exactly what i wrote. there is no need to twist the words of others.

for the record, i personally rate myself as 97th = in auckland, and 10,000th = in the world.

as far as subjective judements go - for my money, blownaway is the man. i haven't seen him myself but hear he's been throwing some sick shit lately. close second is mr. consistent osama / roy with good old superfly still making up the top trio in the land.

these are just my opinions and are as valueless as anyone else's until we have another national comp. until then, we can rightly claim aaron and gavin as our current national champions, with all other places equally relevant. that's how sports rankings work. funky concept eh?

just in case you missed the last couple of years, due to alcoholism, dementia or incarceration, here they are again:

Have had an awesome summer and would without a doubt kick my 12= ranking arse if we ever get around to another National Comp.

your exact words

"i am currently ranked 7th= kiter in this country and #2 in auckland. "


you is such a trumpet

quoting out of context is a well known trick frequently used by those who think everyone else is as dim as themselves.

southboy: you have of course omitted my qualifying and entirely factual statement at the start of that sentence.

you is such a mischevious moron.

Hey South Boy, who's the Cantubury champ?

Id never be presumptuous enough to say anyone was better than anyone else.
Bottom line anyone who is so in need of ranking needs a spanking.
And those that need the ranking - are spankers
Whether you wanna be second first or last

"Hey South Boy, who's the Cantubury champ?"

Gavin B has won the Cant Champs the last two years.

The CWA - Kite Division Club Champ, based on the Canterbury Champs results is Alex Beck, being the highest placed (2nd) club member.

Tis not Roy tis OSAMA Ben Kiting

what is it with you peoples - leave our brother Shaan alone. You do not know what it is like to carry around the burden of self delusion, do you know what it is like brother Southboy to think your camel poo does not stink yet all around knows it do. Our brothers kiting is like the breath of one of my third wife, not pleasant.
It is time to leave our low riding brother to who own visions of grandeur.

Brother Shaan I know not why you put up with this southern abuse I believe you are the 2nd best kiter in all the lands north of the Bombays you are my idol I too one day wish to be like you to have the low rider car and poultry legs. I say ban Southboy and all who dare to question your prowess.

Anyone who messes with king Shaan messes with me Osama Ben kiting!

I am not scared of you Osama
well maybe a little bit

but if you going to come out and make statements like I am the second best - then be prepared to back it up with more and ancient comp rankings

Shane Murrell (big nose) are you Osama/roy
it is you isn't it????

i doubt shane murrell would be able to overcome the complexities of this site to figure out how to make a post here, but the spelling part does ring true.

he's also not as moronic, camel obsessed or anywhere as anonymous as our saudi arabian brother.

Wow ! Obviously, it seems that Underground is da winner on this topic !!!
Even if at this point it could look really suspect... something like a democratic election with only one democratic candidate maybe... Or something like every PC stuffed with Windows only... somewhat scary!

But it's just all the beauty of the NZ kiting scene
