i was working with this lady today and she asked me if i was going "sky skurfing". what the hell is this.
has anyone else heard of any other strange names which refer to kiting.
plenty of names for kiting from surfers-
****en tea-baggers, dope on a rope, WAFI (wind assisted ****ing idiots), wannabe wakeboarders, and my favourite; "why would you do that? it just looks gay."
"kite sailing", "wind sailing" and then people make a wierd motion with their arms to demonstrate your sport. at school kitesurfing seems to be common knowledge even though there are 4 of us in a 1200person school
happy kitesailing
yep, i often get called a windsurfer by total noobs who know nothing about the sport.
i am never happy about it either
My girlfriend asks me, "are you going 'skiting' today?"
One of the guys I work with doesn't bother with a name, he just asks, "did you do wind on the weekend"
I get windsurfer from a lot of people. I don't even bother correcting them any more.
"Yes I am going windsurfing with a kite...." , even then they don't catch on.
When I talk to people about windsurfing they often ask, "Can you do that thing with the thing?"
Whereupon they begin shaking an imaginary bar and looking up at an imaginary kite
Love it.
