I was pretty good at Poling,could rip it up in mast high waves etc.
Took up kiting,that was it! Just stopped using the pole dancing gear and try to get out kiting whenever I can. I prefer surf,but if its flat water,well,thats good as well.
Been doing it for a couple of years now,but I am pretty hopeless at it !
I don't care,its TOO good !
Bi-windsurfers should ride their poledancing gear on the epic days.....leave the kite in the bag.
I don't need anymore strings in-my-face when I'm cranking a bottom turn.
Why would Casey Stoner drive a V8 Supercar?
Just like why would Scotty fly a kite?
Its just like comparing apples to oranges.
If a chess player wanted to play chess but couldnt find the pieces would he play checkers instead?
If I was asked to play cricket I'd say no because I dont like cricket.
As we all know what ever we do we do it because we can
i used to be a windsurfer but changed to kiting because i liked the wakeboarding aspect of the sport and it was alot better for marginal wind (which it usually is here) I am glad i changed becuase it is hardly ever windy enough for me to windsurf anymore, but if its going off im keen for sure. im thinking of going to maui for some real wind and windsurfing conditions again soon, last time i was on 3.7m's everyday for a month, screw kiting in that.
p.s. windsurfing still owns over kiting in the waves, three words "The windsurfing movie" check it.
Geez if you've got the time and the money why not.
Just be careful kiting with your windsurfing mates as you may become a gybe marker
Once you've gone to the dark side let me know why the boardshorts are on the outside ?
I tried kiting once but didn't have the patience or finesse.
Same reason I gave up Ballet dancing
