You wish mate !!!!

Sups will be around for a long time yet, pestering the lineups running over people ditching boards and endangering people

You should give it a go it's a lot of fun

I would but then I would be forced to tell my mates that im a homosexual,. and I dont fancy riding either!

In 5 years how many people reading this will still be kitesurfing?

Does that make kitesurfing a fad?

I would actually say does that make foruming a fad??

Point was- I don't really are whether anything I do is a fad

I actually hope kitesurfing is past it's pinnacle fadness - it will mean more room in the ocean for those of us that did it before it was the cool thing to feature in a TV advert for...anything

Have to agree. I can kinda see the attraction for paddling up to and catching small waves that would otherwise be unsurfable. But wtf is up with people paddling around in lakes etc? It looks about as exciting as water trikes. Remember those bloody things?

Yeah....no.

If you honestly think SUP's got a four yr life span, go check out this: www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Stand-Up-Paddle/SUP/

Foil kites are making a comeback!....

So are mutant boards.... But they aren't called mutants anymore because that's uncool. Its as revolutionary new design! people are finally discovering hey. "We don't actually need a pointy nose on our surfboard". If i cut the nose of it make it a bit more square edged make it a bit wider in the back eureka! Such a fun board. Example firewire vanguard.

Old school boosting too... that was so uncool in favour of pretending to be a wakeboarder for years. Now its back in the form of king of air!... And so it should.

On the beach it doesn't matter how good you are as a wake styler order wavekiter. The general beach crowd will always be more blown away by the dude punting the biggest air on the day.

I agree Plummet, all the other stuff is cool, technical, hard to do and your stoked when you land it. But when friends and family come down to watch me all they want is for me to pull as much air as possible.

And we're back.....

hahaha.

He's just cleaning up the sea isn't he?

wdric, you are correct that the guy in the video is obviously a great surfer.

But he is at "work" when he's riding a sup.
Let me explain:
Sups are a fantastic way to extract cash from doctors, lawyers and accountants. The best way to do this is to pay a real surfer to ride one and show the "potential of these great boards"
(He doesn't actually want to ride the sup, he would much rather be carving sick cutties on a 6'3 thruster.)

Many of us wear a neatly pressed shirt and shiny black shoes to work when we'd rather wear boardies and no shoes, this guy is just trying to make a crust, but his boardroom is slightly more interesting than most.

Edit: oh and he's also working his core, lol.

Ps That's what interests me about foilboarding.

Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.
