This is to all you wakeboaders out there that kite or Kiteboarders that wake.
Why is it that choppy water can really screw wakeboarders up but it doesn't seem to have the same affect of kiteboarders given that they are always in windy water and thae boards are more than less idetical?

ie. Why does it always have to be flat for wakeboarding?
or
Are kiteboarders in general better are riding on boards due to their varied conditions, rathers than jump on two predictable jumps toewed behind a heavy boat?(the wake)

when kiting you are all ways on a edge. wakeboarders ride with their boards flat (besides when they cut towards the wake)and when they land their boards land flat. When riding flat your board is more pron to catching a edge next time ur kiting loop ur kite and ride down wind with your board flat you wont last very long!
