A friend and I were having a discussion the other day about what backgrounds the majority of kiters come from - just wondering if you are all ex wind sports like windsurfing and sailing, or from board sports like snowboarding, skating, surfing and wakeboarding?
I'm from a non kiting background. Whatever went before is obsolete & totally redundant. Its simply what I used to do when I should have been kiting instead.
Used to sail Lasers when I was younger, that helped me the most I reakon. Decent enough board skills for basic kiting can be gained in an arvo, the wind is a harder beast to master..
sailing: mudlarks, "JD's", Cherubs then got into kiting but still into sailing, but big boat sailing atm get my thrills from kiting rather than cherubs
in regard to kitehards observation of a three way split in kiters backgrounds.... are we to believe the remaining one percent are made up of bikies....?
