Kite Source: Answering Kiteforums Conundrums

Question: Can you convert an old windsurfer into kite race board?

Answer:
Well, after reading all the posts, my answer is yes. Kite racing is still really new. Think about how NASCAR began, it was a bunch of moonshiners who got together on Saturday nights to race. The first time I saw a kite race board, I thought it was a chopped in half longboard. There are going to be problems, but from these problems, new and better solutions are going to occur. As with surfing, custom building lets the boards evolve. Don't let anybody tell you "no" when it comes to customizing something, originality breeds innovation.

Absolutely right on Rick! When it comes to new ideas and inventing, no one can say it's impossible. Go for it and eventually the idea will come close to being perfected. Yeah for innovation! - Kelly Potts.
