Love my kitesurfing!
Yesterday and today surfed some awesome waves down south. wont disclose locations but ****ing unreal.
anyway the post says it all. nothing beats great waves stand up. hands down. kitesurfing is gresa for ****ty waves. or windy locations. surfing is all about the surrounds and the stoke!
cheers stoked hc

Got that right, paddle surfing is great when it's clean, but 25kt onshore slop is a lot more fun with a kite and kiting opens up a whole world of waves that wouldn't otherwise get ridden
