cause Im lazy and cant be arsed paddling.........

Here we go again. Why not do both? and appreciate other aspects of kiting also without narrowing the options.

GET BACK TO YOUR SCHOOL WORK, MASTER sir ROWDY ,YOUR WAY TO YOUNG TO HAVE AN OPINION.SIT BACK AND LEARN SONNY BOY! KITING IS ABOUT FUN. DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU RIDE....RESPECT DUDE!

all you lucky guys who can actually surf on a real surfboard, with real waves........ Have you seen the waves in Perth? lucky we have all the wind....

and twintips are gay-trays.

I’ve ridden both and enjoy a surfboard more than a twinnie.

In my opinion the best kiter, whether on a twinnie, or a surfboard, or whether he fits the kiting fashion groove or not, is the one having the most fun, and that me!!

what you learn on?

actually a 6'10'' thruster , circa '99.. and a two-line kite... it was a foil kite, ya, foil kites are gay too.

lucky you didnt learn on a twin tip then= double gay

I think your missing the point.
I'm not talking about spinny technical tricks, I'm talking about riding waves with a Kite, using the kite to your advantage, instead of pretending like your surfing. You have a kite so there is no need to ride a massive surfboard. If surfers could ride a tiny board, throw massive spray and do huge airs, they would.

riding a twin tip in the waves is sooooo gay, they dont even bottom turn properly.

im with you rowdy, 90% of blokes I see using a surfboard are muppets they dont surf the pocket and instead use the kite just to keep them moving while waaay out on the shoulder getting in peoples way. They dont do any tricks or ever get slammed, then you see blokes in the surf on twin tips smashing the lip, boosting and looping off the waves AND generally hacking it up.

Now I admit there are some blokes who do know what they are doing and use the kite to get back out and then surf the wave properly .......and as a surfer of 20+ years i can appreciate that, but when muppets are out on the shoulder causing the sections to shut down or closeout I get and unfortunately 90% of kiters with surfboards do exactly that.

we are such a tolerant bunch aren't we ?

Live and let live hey- if crew want to bang to the beat of their own drum, let them.

Riding strapless on a skim and surf board has taught me heaps about kite control and board control. I can also see what Rowdy is saying about using the kite to create a new style in the surf,it would be great if he could use tha same logic when thinking about his beloved wakestyle..

For me personally the strapless style on a surfboard has given me a new challenge that I am enjoying. If ya don't dig it don't do it...

and they wear them Gay confused boardies over wetties haaaa

WHY NOT START WINDSURFING!

Kite is a tow in machine"

On the other hand :

Why try to wakeboard with a kite? I have rarely even at the highest level of "kiteboarding" seen someone pull a trick that has even 1/10th of the power, consequence or style, IMO there is not 1 teeny iota of comparison. Is that why even at the top level people spin and jump big while incorporating wakeboarding tricks because they are kiteboarding not wakeboarding??

I "kitesurf" not "kiteboard"
