[edit] Good luck with it! Demo both, have some fun & get on the water.

Windsurfing is better... Unless you like one (or all) of the following:

- Yellow boardies with red polka dots
- Fluoro t-shirts, like the windsurfers wore in the 80s.
- Dangly-twisties
- Bickering on this forum about where noobs are, or are not, aloud to go.

That's about it really...

If you want to grumble about carrying heavy gear down to the beach - Windsurfing


If you want to grumble that your kite's stuck in a tree - kitesurfing

See, I told ya they bitch

You know.....

You could always plug a sail into your SUP...


Drift has been clocking 25 knots on his windy SUP

Can't fit a sail to the Sup I've got. But I tell ya with all the onshore winds this LaNina bitch has brought, I have considered something to do with wind. And I'm 5 mins drive to Botany Bay.

I push people that aren't too sure or don't want to work too hard towards kiting.
If you're asking...

gday my name is hamish im 19 and wanting to start either kitesurfing or windsurfing, can someone give me the pro's n con's of each sport and then your preference please, thank you

you'll need something like this to transport all your gear down to the beach if you are a windsurfer

If you want to do something that everyone can do and is, and in no certain way challenge your ablilities. Try Kiting. Everyone else is why not be like everyone else.
Or you could try something thats harder and thus more rewarding when you complete a manouvre, less people do it thus cooler and you can be at the forefront of the young revolution taking up windsurfing. Plus there is no need to wear you boardies over your wetsuit.

I hear that windsurfers and kite surfers don't get on that well.
Mate, what if there's no wind ? Enter SUP.

No Scotty thats shortboarders and SUPers, and longboarders and SUPers, and kitesurfers and SUPers.
I think there is a pattern here

which forum did I find you posting in last night ? Wind or kite ?

Easy,

If you think tatoos are cool - go kiting

If you think tatoos are for tools - go windsurfing

Whats your address, the Finks motorcycle club wish to talk about this with you.

Windsurf forum as well, sailing when Im really bored.

"Hello sailor"

Hey Lotofwind,

When I was creeping about in your place late last night after you had gone to sleep I saw that you have that poster on the back of your toilet door. Have you got another copy on the ceiling above your bed or something ?

By the way, stop tieing that trip wire or whatever it is across all your doors, I have got cuts across both my ankles this morning. It is really annoying. I broke most of it off.

And, where do you keep those adult diapers, I am getting really desperate. Nursey says she won't keep helping me unless I wear diapers more often.
