I wish it were illegal in Canada. That would enhance the enjoyment of it.
That shit is fun!
I just got in from the water where I was taking my 12 & 16 year old nephews on the kite tube. I went for a spin too. Uncle tom has to go a hell of a lot faster to get air borne because he's a major fat ass.
I've got a pretty big tube so I can get well up into the air at about 40 mph (I'm about 210). That's no faster than barefoot speeds. My newphews are much lighter and could fly at about 25 (he's about 95 lbs) and 20 mph (he's about 70 lbs). The tube is a Body Glove Air Ride.
Sure, I had blood pouring from my mouth and I've got a giant bruise on my hip but that's a small price to pay for that kind of fun.
I'll be heading back out in about 20 minutes. If you don't see me online tonight, you'll know it didn't go as well as I had hoped.
