In this thread, we discuss all things kitesurf related (windsurfers, kite wingers, foilers, and others are also welcome). Spots, gear, tricks, stories, questions, anything.
> Why kitesurfing is xs?
- Outdoors in natural beauty
- Available to all ages, fitness levels, men and women.
- Feels amazing flying through the air with power of the wind
- Introvert sport. Bros help you launch/land, but you're mostly on your own.
- Always new tricks to try and ways to improve.
- High "action to waiting" ratio. Sessions can last hours with no breaks.
- Undisputed coolest people on the beach (sorry surfers, but it's true). Everyone wants to be friends with the kiters.

how do you start getting into this? Flying the kite? Then surfing? Then combining?

>Undisputed coolest people on the beach (sorry surfers, but it's true). Everyone wants to be friends with the kiters.Rented a condo for a week in North Carolina (not OBX) and got cross-shore wind every day. By the end of the trip, everyone knew me as the kiteboarder and they'd tell me how much they enjoy watching me ride. Kids look at me like I'm a celebrity when I ask them to move so I can safely launch my kite. Not the reason I kiteboard, but I can't deny that I like the attention.
