if you rip away all of the prefixes, surfing will always be cooler than boarding.

wrong^
snow - boarding
wake - boarding
skate - boarding
yay yay yay

snow surfing - doesnt work
wake surfing - is lame
skate surfing - doesnt make sence

no prefixes still makes the word boarding better.

kiteboarding includes all forms of kiting with a board, mountain board, snow board, surf board, wakeboard etc. Kitesurfing represents the water based disciplines within that biggger group.
You could argue that riding a twin tip on flat water is hardly "surfing". but you have to be able to differentiate the disciplines somehow.
Maybe we should call it waterboarding, but I think that has been banned by the geneva convention

My mum slipped up for the first time the other day, asked me if I'd been out windsurfing recently.

Was she thinking you were getting on a float for Mardi Gras or sumpin?




Perhaps we should all agree on a cross platform name?

Teabagging? Teaboarding?



"Hey! Look - there's a guy up there!!"


A rose by any other name is still the best kn sport going round. Surfing/boarding who kn cares - get out there!!

When snowboarding first started it was called snowsurfing. If you hire gear in France it is still called "planche du surf"

Snowboarders used to be called "Snurfers"

boogie boarding?...


boogie surfing puts in my mind some dude in man shorts riding a 10 foot Mal' with a girl in a bikini doing "The Monkey" whilst Dick Dale plays a surf boogie tune in the background music.

right^ try
snow - boarding
wake - boarding
skate - boarding
yay yay yay

but try

snow sliding - works
wake towing - describes being pulled behind daddy's boat
skating - is a different sport altogether and kinda cool in a self destructive way.

too many boards not enough originality.

ud find that alot of the 'board' sports use one another for influence and inspiration and use each other to grow though. eg kiting uses wake for tricks and ideas then takes them to their own unique level, i think wake borrowed from snow or skate for rails and so on... thus creating a community of joy sports instead of separate lame sports eg. rollerblading or rip sticking.

And why not, French baguettes are the best tasting in the world! I will not hear any negative talk about the French or France - best country in the world. Not many places you can be on the beach and the snow in the same day!

^^^^ south coast nsw...

but the only really hot chicks are the turo's, local chicks have usually had four kids, lost some teeth and gone all blobby by 25.

asked my windsurfin mate about kiteboarding vs kitesurfing

he said "why don't you do call it, poser dangle p00fs, and be done with it"

i said "that name is already taken by those who frequent woodies in w.a"
