Was that even worth saying!!
Obviously otherwise kite companys wouldn't bother spending money producing products specifically targeting the surfing aspect of the sport like surfing movies, boards and kites...

Seriously some of the topics being started in the forum are s*#, like "has anybody got some cool kiteboarding stories"....

I knew i forgot to do something and or wasn't invited. Flapjack, tell you what. I will make a short video of me kiting in the waves, then when you can't sleep at night just pop it in your betamax and you can sleep all day.

Kiting in ANY conditions is boring if you don't push yourself or your equipment.

i see i will have to explain.

Some of the "surfers" at my local use 10ft tankers to catch 1foot waves, exciting? nope. Same equipment used at margies in large overhead waves, much better. Same for kiting in waves, learn in the small stuff then push the limits.

Kiting in waves doesn't appear difficult as most of the hard stuff is technical and quite difficult to pickup. Anyone with a bit of co-ord can learn to kite and start doing "huge floaty tea bagging" stuff within a couple of weeks on the flat water, but i challenge any ADVANCED(and bored apparently) flat water rider to borrow my 6.2 surfboard in 25-30knts, in shoulder high waves and at a changing tide to show me just how boring it is. Come on! i dare you?
