Kiters at my usual spot are aged from 10 to 60 !

But theres only a handful under 20, some in the 20-30's but the majority, probably 70% of local kiters, are in the 40-50's group (nearly all from surfing/windsufing backgrounds).

How does this compare to national stats ?

always asking..." can you help me with sunscreen here" and "would you mind pulling my G-string out of there!".

Where do you kite...... heaven????

I just want to kite!

get down to your cabin this week stabs.. the eye candy is insane.. i will be there today and every other day its on

I'm the youngest at 21, along with 2 other guys who are also 21.

The majority of the kiters at our spot are aged around 35-55 with the eldest being 72 (above 70 but not 100% certain).

Perhaps the spot is near a retirement village.

.....strange....I am never concerned or even aware of my age or anyone else's while I am kiting.......you guys must spend too much time sitting on the beach, or at home reading the forum...

lol are you for real!? Obviously not out on the water, but don't you obviously don't have a social community of kiters like I (we) have here. It's something unique I suppose.

But take it as you wish... and the forum!? What makes u think I spend too much time on the forums? Not my 1800+ posts I hope!

....and...yes....I was not out on the water, when I posted, because the arrows had not turned green.....

....have you ever considered giving up sleep....sounds like the better option...

WHATS THE POINT?


GET BACK ON THE WAGON

I think it awesome to see the older generation as well as chicks gettin into it, How many forms of allover body workout can you get while actually really enjoying every minute of it.
As far as I'm concerned Kiting has nailed it on the head, When its stinking hot and you are out there you don't feel like keeling over and carking it, in fact you feel more alive, and unlike most forms of excercise I can't wait to get out for more.
As you get older its harder to keep the beer gut from forming but not once you start jumping....The keg is gone and i'm back on the 6 pack

my average age is 22 and a half !!

Im 3 years into kiting, now my son and sometimes my daugther kite, 17 and 15. so the average between us is 24.666 years
Wow all of a sudden i feel younger

back when i started i think i was one of the youngest, im 17 now and always think that when i am 40 i can refer to "back in the day" when kiteboarding was just starting in newcastle

"Back in the day" !!! Like when i thought a 30 year old woman was old !!!
