its like 50 times better than windsurfing

Its a light body feeling of 70% wieghtlessness, while 30% weight is carving shapes through the surf and air!!! Feeling the wind caress your body and the sunset shine on your shoulder. The power of controlling the wind for your leisure, but the adrenaline of the wind not being predictable and constantly having to adjust to complement her!!! ...

i just orgasmed. thanks jessie

I always tell people its a complete waste of time, plenty enough people on the water already.

Similar to one I heard years ago:

"It's like wakeboarding behind an aeroplane, and you're steering the aeroplane"

Personally, I think of it as leaving the comfort of our natural habitat where we are primarily influenced by matter in a solid state, and immersing ourselves in a foreign habitat where we form a partnership with matter in both liquid and gaseous states, leaving the solid earth behind.

Today a young man on acid discovered that all matter was merely energy, condensed into a slow vibration. There is no such thing as death, life is but a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves. Now here's Tom with the weather!

Its like accidently walking in on your mum and dad whilst their shagging

Why do you want to impersonate another sport??? The way you talk up hardcore wakestyle all the time, I don't know why you just don't give up kiting and take up wakeboarding???

oh and read what i say. i say its not like wakeboarding, you say i say it is when i say its not? even though i do push for wakestyle side to grow.. you could call it dick style for all i give a sh!t id rather see riders pushing harder with their kites lower, even if they not doing mobe 10s or slim 5000s but rather have more risk, speed and power added in which inevitably makes it look and feel better and more rewarding as well as get kitesurfing an ounce of real recognition from other sports

Maybe you should forget about your image for a minute, you may enjoy what you and others are doing already. Why are you so intent on getting recognition, just go out and have fun mate.

Charl,
It seems you don't really have any passion for the sport.
Kitesurfing I'm talking about.
Your heart's just not into it, hey ?
Your true desire is a shiny, new wakeboat and lots of cash.
Kiting to you is strictly consolatory.
(Why are you even bothering to write stuff on this forum ?)
(Why am I even bothering to read stuff written by a wannabee waker ?)
Your indifference clearly shows up how so unlike the two disciplines of kiting can be.
I'm talking about the flatwater bandits as opposed to the waveheads.
They're like two different sports.
What am I saying ?........They ARE different but there's a close resemblance.
Maybe Laurie was onto something with regards to splitting up the kiting forum into a couple of sections.
How about we have a WANNABEE WAKERS section ?
