If I needed to wear that I'm not sure that I'd want to do whatever it is he's doing.... :o

This can't be anything other than an awesome social science experiment conducted for market research.

"If we did something as proposterous as say.... strapping a giant inflatable carrot to Kai's back on a downwind run... how many could we sell and at what price?"

I wonder who talked Kai into that. Imagine the torque in a strong gust. No, nope, nope, no.

All~Wet might well be right. I said once that if Laird put a pair of jockey shorts on his head there would be people wearing them in Paia within a week. Diane came up with an entire product strategy and branding with only two glasses of wine. I think it was SkivvyHed(tm), headwear for overhead and above. That doesn't sound right, I'm sure it was mo' clevah than that.

Ok, I’ll bite. ;)
I have often wondered of using something to aid oneself on downwind runs. But really, a carrot??? It’s certainly believable that  Lou would dream this up. I think we would all do better downwinding if we would #1 Be in better shape. And #2 learn to read the bumps better.

No. Not buying it at all. Funny though. "Way up into the atmosphere????" If he'd said troposphere, I'd still call BS.

Could sell some used cars with it....
It's not overhead to me!
8'8" L-41 ST and a whole pile of boards I rarely use.

Oh, another thing. If lifeguards demand we all start wearing then for higher visibility I’m out.  :P

Wait, isn't that the guy who doesn't like to wear a leash ???

On the serious side it's good to see that people are thinking way outside the box
