As far as I know, the purpose of developing kitesurfing is to integrate traditional kitesurfing into surfing, to increase dynamics and beauty. So what are the advantages of kitesurfing?
Having all your gear in the boot and no one knows you kite...Unlike windsurfers who have to tow a tradies van full of gear...sup people who have big boards on roof racks...and surfers who have mal boards on roof and small boards inside ...all potential theft victims when unattended .
You can travel on a plane with all your gear that can take you to some of the best waves anywhere. It is easy for old people to do.the cost of the full kit is quite reasonably priced, for such a great sport.

sounds like your doing kiteless surfing wrong
?? At best obscure and clearly uncomprehensive of a simple request for clarfication from the original poster
The feeling of the power in the kite, the acceleration, the ability to be at ease in wild conditions that would smash you on other craft, the endless different things to learn, being able to travel, and finally the engineering beauty of a kite.

As you can see above there are none, so don't do it please. Thanks
Watching kiters at the beach, i thought it was the freedom of pumping up your kite wearing just your bikini bottoms, or daisy dukes. (Just ignore the negative comments about how hairy your legs are, or how your balls are hanging out).
From my perspective as a Windsurfer who entered the sport in 2008, Kitesurfing has four advantages over Windsurfing: a) Wind gradient, b) Shallow water, c) Less complex to rig, d) (may not be applicable now ?) "My Dad doesn't do it".
