Just a few hard core crew and some new beginners.
I don't know about World wide. It's strange to read people complaining on Forums about crowds and criticising those that try to promote the sport,for increasing those crowds.We are usually looking for someone to kite with !
Numbers have dropped off in Maui as well,but some spots in Europe,South America etc. seem to be booming !
The same thing happened in Windsurfing.Went from mad crowds to stabilizing numbers. Great to get Hookipa with a dozen to 20 out instead of 50 !
As for a reason ? I think it is because people become disillusioned with the sport when they find that you just can't go when you want to.
If you work all week and its windy,then the weekend comes and there is nothing,you can get very dissapointed.
