Don't tell us greeny, you're thinking of trying it!?!?

Are bodyboards, kneeboards, bodysurfers, dolphins, mals, surfers, windsurfers, surf mats, kiters (with floating boards), surfing the waves?

Many ways to skin a cat!

Definatly surfing is closest.

Then between wavesailing and kitesurfing, the main differences I have found is that wavesailing, you are able to stall the board much more, you can head back into the section and wait for it to wall up. Kiting that is very hard, once the kite is pulling you down the line, its much harder to alter your speed, and almost come to a stop. I found wavesailing, the rig disappears a lot more in comparison to a kite. Also, I found wavesailing you call really go for it a whole lot more as when it goes wrong, you just swim after your rig and waterstart with a grin on your face and you are ok. Kiting, when the kite went down in decent waves then it was much more hassle. Probably small waves that isn't such a big deal. But even still, you have to think more about keeping your kite out the water than your sail, and this definately affects your riding.

But definately my biggest factor was being pulled down the line without being able to stall to well, and to be able to head back into the section. Small beach breaks thats no major drama as there are waves everywhere.

This was all C style kites so maybe its different on Bows. And this wasn't strapless. But still was a surf board style with straps.

Used to agree with NR and safeteybayboy however I got a Sonic last season with 100% depower. Now wavekiting is much better than wavesailing. You can do anything on the wave as the bar is a throttle now from 0 power to 100% power and you are on a surfboard. Reverse relaunch also takes away some of the grief of dropping the kite in the surf.

Sounds like the kite goes up backwards?

come on mr.greenroom you know you want to......... kite , kite kite the only thing is dont let anyone at mettams hear you say the word kite or your OUT OF THERE .

no probs greeny you can hang with me and run a riot

or you can admit that you can't windsurf and have gone to something easier!

sorry to burst your bubbles boys , but you are ALL wrong.

bodyboarding is the CLOSEST you can get to the wave.

there are no cons all pros....

at one with nature

Why not just masturbate? No surf required, comes in every handy

Or you could just die, and let someone else live your life for you.
