with the way most kiters ride its nothing like wakeboarding

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.

couldnt care less about my image, and good on you for doing what ever your doing. just dont call it wakeboarding with a kite if your jumping and diong monkey bar swaps with ur kite at noon.

all i want to see is for the sport to gain more consequence in tricks. riding kite at lunch doing bar swaps has no consequence, you lose your bar and u float down. kite low = you have to ride A LOT faster and pop A LOT harder to get height = more riskn = good for the sport. i want the sport to get to a point where i can flick on fuel or wat ever and see good kiting for once thats up to date. for this to happen our sport needs recognition from other extreme sports, for that to happen it must look impressive to them, for that to happen the stacks have to look brutal, the tricks have to carry speed style and difficulty. its wicked that kiteboarding is so diverse n its cool to have different disciplines, BUT the mainstream stuff today is just lame.


anyway to describe kiteboarding:
Good day is like hanging your peepee infront of a vacuum cleaner
bad day is like dropping it on a belt sander

Does a bone graft, 11 screws and 2 plates in your foot count as a "consequence"?

Counts for a green thumbs up at least.

I explain it to people as this: getting a swing and tieing it to your clothesline, sitting on it then get your mate to spin it arrouuunnddd and arroiuunnnndddd and arounnnnndd until your sick.


p.s.
"why don't you go wakeboard then if you love it so much!",
I will tell you why, because i cant drive a wakeboard boat and at the same time ride behind it in the waves launching off sweet kickers all day... thats why. Plus it's freeeeeeee.

Progress this. Legit that. Cred, dangle, lunch, powered, boots, beginner hooks, straps, kooks.....
I wonder if all the "legit and respected" hard core Gnarly (with a capital g) "sports" got to be legit because they had a crew of hard core wingers and winers posting bull**** on internet forums.
Here's a crazy idea. Maybe they just did what ever they felt like doing and the sport developed and progressed naturally, without anyone crying and sooking about how it was being done and how it should be done. Naaah, that would be ridiculous.
F.F.S. If ya wanna wake and don't have the craft hook up with someone that does, it's pretty easy to find a ride, then go and bitch and moan on some other forum.

people who winge about stuff are generally not too keen to wash a boat after a session either and usually take off with some excuse about having to be somewhere.

come now what fun would that be? and miss out on all your crazy reactions?

I was wondering how long it would take. This is where I would put a couple of smiley's and a lol or 2, but that would be too predictable.

not really, im going to say thats from a foot coming out of a strap? i mean all those tricks the pros throw down dont hurt when you miss them if your kites high.

I got my "consequence" from a heavy landing with both feet in the straps. My point is that we don't have to bust ourselves up to gain credibility. Difficult tricks should look smooth and effortless. Some poeple have it, some will never have it.

Rowdy is the king of kiteboarding nomenclature and pedagogy.He has a dream. A dream where one day, not so far off in the future, everywhere he looks he will see...

Wakestyle looks crap anyway
Its generally pubescent boys with no brains that are into it cause their mums spent all the money on a Prado instead of a ski boat.
LOL

And that's a good thing. Wakeboarding is sooooo lame. Getting towed around behind daddy's wanker boat pretending you're a hard core dude.

sorry i didnt realise swinging like a monkey havin a seizure under a parachute is way more core than riding behind a boat at way higher speeds with a way lower tow angle.

it's the roller blading of the ocean

and surf style is the boogie boarding of wind sports

I take it you have never kited in waves before then??? The kite assists you to get towed into way bigger waves than you can paddle into, but I guess mummy wouldn't let you out in the big bad ocean, ha ha ha ha ha
