Kitesurfer Dennis Rides into history

ImageDennis Smith (36) has successfully become OR's longest student. Dennis (43) who owns resort Isla Gecko studied as an IKO ITC student on a variety of instructor camps. Along the way he has gained the records of most body dragged miles and most face plants. Beginning this 2009/10 season Dennis (49) was re-instructed for 5 minutes on the beach by kite guru and beach Nazi Glen (Mr Ocean) Parsons (26). This enlightening 5 minutes has since changed Dennis's life forever. "Glen is an inspiration to all old farts, and he's good looking too" chirped a now re-invented Dennis (56).

Kitesurfer Dennis can now be seen untangling his lines most mornings with his 10 thumbs, donning his impact vest and carefully managed hair under his helmet, before happily cruising the lagoon like a 56 year at Nigi's bar at happy hour.

What next for kitesurfer Dennis, jumps? kiteloops? "I'm looking for sponsorship currently" explains Dennis (63) who currently has Stannah Stairlifts offering a great package which includes the lift as shown here by Hilda. (picture right).

I'm sure all Ocean Republic regulars wish Kitesurfer Dennis (71) all the very best with his kitesurfing adventures.

All the very best, and kite safe Kitesurfer Dennis (?)
