I have surfed most of my life and consider myself a surfer first. Having said that, kitesurfing is a blast especially in Perth's windy (but flatish) conditions. I am confused as to why you would bother with a kite in conditions like this:

Do other kitesurfers agree? Would you pump up your kite is such marginal conditions (wind wise)? Or is it only non-surfers who would kite in these conditions?
