Funny,,,,,,, The few kiters i know and have met are very nice.
Decent, respectful and responsible people.
None of them feels the need to get involved with this ego boosting.
Real surfers/windsurfers/kiters/SUP'ers/WATERMEN and WOMEN, no matter what their chosen discipline are too busy living it to get involved with the self adoration and ego massage that goes on.
REAL PEOPLE WHO ARE CONFIDENT IN THEMSELVES AND CONTENT WITH WHO THEY ARE,,,,,,"LIVE AND LET LIVE"
When a few sad "wanna be watermen" get overexcited with themselves they want to shout to the world, "Hey look at me! Look at what i'm doing! Check out how amazing I am"
Let's let them be the way they are.
When i read the rubbish these trolls post here i feel sad for them.
They just don't get it.
They never will.
why is it all the kiters troll on windsurf forums and to my records no windsurfer to date has on theres? i think the reason they put up such a strong fight is because deep down they know windsurfing is better, poor boys. its ok i understand you boys
dont cry
In answer to Kiting Casey's thread "is it true what they say about windsurfers" that just got deleted:
Yes it is true what they say about Windsurfers feeling sorry for their boardies over their wetsuit wearing, illiterate kiting cousins (not in the blood relation sense though)
All i can say now is us windsurfers were here before all you guys and alot of windsurfers were sailing when you guys were in nappies. so we should have first say to who owns the beach.
This case is now closed
meh, i cant belive this topic was soo popular.
2100 veiws, 100 posts. argh im uber cool.
anyway, ive decided to learn kiting, thankx for yuor help...
surfingboyo, i would just like to say good man for comen out of the closet. to be a man you must take a step you did that today son, you came out. now look here son, next time you see some windsurfers in QLD standing on the beach waiting for more wind. you go up to em and give em free hugs and say you know what you boys are alright. ask em, do you know that? make peace bro with all the windsurfers around QLD start a trend GIVE ME A HUG SURFINGBOYO
Windsurfing in WA was not just good today - it was great. Stonking 30 knots plus. Not much west in the south of it so even Dutchies was going off. Tabletops and loops (not by me mind!). Woo hoo.
I counted about a dozen windsurfers out, and more rigging up, but just one solitary kiter downwind. Clear what rules at 25 knots plus, and whats gey!
we got skunked for no wind in melbourne today just hot weather hey dude you know where i could stay cheaply up WA there i need some wind
well windwarning its all 'on sale' here given the GFC - the whole state just fell off a cliff last September - so you should be able to pick a cheapo airfare and get a big bargain somewhere - just tell em I said so
(why else would i have time to sail in the middle of a weekday, but for the fact that I should be otherwise gainfully employed)
Don't dis Vic too much, Windwarning. Yesterday evening at Ricketts Pt was an outstanding session. Did you make it?
no, i wish i got there last night and rickets sounds like it was a mass party on the weekend 40+ windsurfers. i never got a invite, dam me and me mate were at balnarring.
niiiice air, were you tempted to do a double?
[edit] Ahhh, I see how you got extra lift...using a sail and a kite! clever...(what's with the censor patch in the middle of the pic though?)
that BIG AiR whoot
to voice my thought.. is windsurfing good
give it a try
its got to be better than playing with ur barbie doll and stamp collection which is what u do now....
Spotty, that's awesome. You b@$t@rd.
I reckon before people are allowed to "progress" to the "superior" sport of kiting, there should be a mandatory requirement that they complete a forward loop on a windsurfer first. Because kiting is so cool and hardcore.
Guys its JS! 'Jaeger Stone' not me! see wave forum for explanation, of black fuzz too...

I've usually ejected way before getting that high..its a real treat to see such skill executed at such height and land it without getting smashed by your gear.
