Kite Boarding Banned In Aussie Town

Are you not yet sold on kite boarding?  Well you should be because it is quickly taking the world by storm.  I give it just a few more years and you will see kite boarding in the Olympics, in the movies, and you will probably even see kite boarders “kiting” to school.  Yep that’s right.  Who says that kite boarding is restricted to water.  It will be the hottest craze around.  As they say, “Kite boarding is the new black”.  While Timmy struggles to skateboard up hill with his kiteless setup, little Joey Joe Joe will be kiting everywhere he goes. 

Just when I had a feeling that kite boarding was in the dawn of being the biggest and gnarliest “extreme sport” to date, a town in Australia decides to place a ban on the most totally broiffic up and coming surf activity.  Anyone caught partaking in the gnarly of gnarliest of extreme sports will be given a $200 fine for “Harnessing the wind” without council permission. 

That sounds like some new world order type of talk if you ask me.  Just like most abundant of natural resources, shouldn’t the wind be enjoyed by everyone?  Well yet again, the up and down world of kite boarding is catching the attention of international community and is taking on the world’s stage as I have said before, the “gnarly of gnarliest” of extreme sports.
