Perhaps he doesnt want to spend thousands of $$$ each year on new kite gear.
Surfing & skating certainly has that over kiting.

awesome!
the most important thing is hanging out doing what u love with mates , sooo need similar aged kids to hang out with and push the riding/ make it super fun especially if want to keep doing it.
Skating is awesome because you get to meet so many interesting different kinds of people because it is way more affordable for everyone. It's a win win situation. I kite skate surf and sup - love em all, never bought into the whole - one is cooler than the others, they all have something I enjoy with high levels of riding to aspire to. DK one of nzs most famous shortboard surfers/big wave chargers, is also into bodyboarding, suping, kiting and for sure has skated a bit too. Best thing about multi board sports.. meeting all sorts of awesome people, never burn out switch boards, travel and having a sport for all weather conditions + doing one can make you better at the other too - especially kiting on a surfboard...
