it's a suprisingly old term on the net, a somewhat pointless respelling of "elite".

Is that real 'txt' speak???  I feel so old.  What does I337 mean?  I skip over all the posts I can't read, as I guess many others do.  Which kind of makes it pretty pointless posting really.  Having acidsalior here is like having fevakid back!

Tragically, he sails at King George.

I've got an old keyboard or two that still have all their keys in working order. Wonder what'll crack first, that or his skull? Only one way to find out! Testing this sunday!

Anyway, keep txt spk for mobile phone messages. Keep |337 sp34k for the less refined chat rooms and games. There's no rush on a forum.

Unfortunately my ladder is a bit bent and won’t reach this far down.

Anyway, lets end this spelling chitchat...and talk boats like we're ment to be doing....

I'd definately get the 600 first as it would most likely keep you busy for a year or two...and thats just getting the tacks right! One of my mates at our club struggled in a 6, but now has bought a MPS and flying about...although i am still quicker that him upwind in my 6.

I always believed the MPS to be faster over the 700 but PY says different... so which is really the quickest?

Mark.

RS300 - 346 :D

private school people mutter mutter mutter daddy buying a boat for them mutter mutter mutter spelling mutter mutter.

only kidding, but please, spare us the unreadable text language. i have an oldish 600 that keeps needing bits mending, but its a geat boat and i really wouldn't reccomend trying to jump straight into the foiler. however the musto isnt reall that much more difficult as it is so much more stable.

i am also 16, so dont nag me about moaning about spelling.

600 732, will call it Sticks and Stones when i get round to it.
Also International 14, 1318

Quit the txt type.. you have a full qwerty keyboard... use it!

I've told you once. Use your full qwerty keyboard, spell things as correctly as you can and use punctuation. That way people may be able to understand what your saying. You'll be welcomed much more by other forum members if you take my advice
