gday my name is hamish im 19 and wanting to start either kitesurfing or windsurfing, can someone give me the pro's n con's of each sport and then your preference please, thank you
I hear that windsurfers and kite surfers don't get on that well.
Mate, what if there's no wind ? Enter SUP.
Windsurfing is better... Unless you like one (or all) of the following:
- Yellow boardies with red polka dots
- Fluoro t-shirts, like the windsurfers wore in the 80s.
- Dangly-twisties
- Bickering on this forum about where noobs are, or are not, aloud to go.
That's about it really...
Na, he said he is 19. Too young to windsurf or SUP.
You save thoughs hobbies till your too old and fragile to do more adventures things

If you want to grumble about carrying heavy gear down to the beach - Windsurfing
If you want to grumble that your kite's stuck in a tree - kitesurfing
Easy, take up all 3, spend lots of $$$$$$$ in new gear.
then learn the meaning of DOW
Oh 19, you should be out chasing the girls not playing in the water
Maybe a good way to choose would be to have a few lessons of each and see which you like better.
It isn't super cheap but it is a lot cheaper than buying all the kit and deciding you don't like it
I push people that aren't too sure or don't want to work too hard towards kiting.
If you're asking...
If you want to do something that everyone can do and is, and in no certain way challenge your ablilities. Try Kiting. Everyone else is why not be like everyone else.
Or you could try something thats harder and thus more rewarding when you complete a manouvre, less people do it thus cooler and you can be at the forefront of the young revolution taking up windsurfing. Plus there is no need to wear you boardies over your wetsuit.
I think this ad for windsurfing gear sums up what they like.The choice is yours, boardies over ya wettie so the dirty old man poledancer dosent prey on you,,or become one of them and wear what they show in there windsurfing mag ads
WTF
