Kite Tubing: The New Extreme Sport

[Pangloss62]

Variations on the "F" word should always be used in moderation, but they are very handy and so malleable: "Look at that f'n f'tard on that f'n kite tube! That f'n mother f'er is f'n f'd! He's f'n flippin over! He gonna break his f'n neck!"

Literally. They've just built a new park right on the main drag in Branson, indistinguishable from every other theme park in the US.

I used to go down to SWMSU to visit a couple of ladies in the mid-70's, Dar. Lots of fun we had.

How much are they....... say..... delivered to my ex.

Well, XO, they're not any worse than "normal" tubes if you have the right driver (like my dad) anyway. You could still break yourself regardless if you land the right, er...wrong way. But, for the record they're about 300 bucks.

I have never been kite tubing, but I have been tubing before. The ones we used looked like an inflated rocket with handles. You would lay down on the top and hang on for dear life! It is great fun, but it never really lifted out of the water. We had the doughnut shaped inflated tubes too, but they aren't as fun as the rock shaped ones.

I don't wanna' see it unless they are jousting.
