A lot of people are saying that Kiting is the new trendy more popular sport.
My local observations differ from this. Today for example at Manly there were over sixteen windsurfers and only two kiters. there didnt seem to be many kiters at Wello either. I have nothing against kiting. It looks like fun..But, rumours of the demise of windsurfing would seem to be "greatly exaggerated"...
