Seriously? Spending your time whining about how you get to spend your time on the beach and travel the world.

Oh my heart does bleed for you.

If you don't like it then Fu@k Off and get a proper job.

Kitersurfers who are over eager and "Rush" to the beach even though everyone knows the wind will not be up for another 2 hours. Golden rule...Go kiting when there is wind and pack a surfboard as backup.

Preachers.... and they tend to be more in places where there is less wind!

Sydney... It is tough kiting here. I moved from Cape Town to Perth and now Sydney. CPT there almost too much wind and quite big swell. Perth has awesome wind and warmer water, but the waves are small (except if you travel). Sydney has the most inconsistent wind forecasts making it difficult to plan weekends away. On the upside, I probably enjoy kiting now more than ever as you really appreciate it when there is wind There are some good wave spots in NSW.....

Kitesurfers riding between surfers... just do not do it. Accidents can happen very easily with +20 meter lines. No point in p.... off the surfing community.

It's very annoying when I'm hanging out poolside at the Kite Resort after an epic sess ...

and the stupid waiter serves me the wrong cocktail.

Sheesh.

What I took from what he said is nothing like that. Besides kiters dont lounge at resorts on kite beaches they huddle up in share houses fighting over goon dregs if anything. You and your 1 week holiday can have the resort lounge but I certaintly seen many of the more keen kiters live like that.

I believe he was referring to how everyones so media trained that they cant say anything negative about any product any kite any location any meal any boat any tour any comp any trip any photoshoot because doing so is believed to be career suicide and its all just for peanuts anyways so why most bother I do not know.

See what im saying or you have your pina colada goggles on?

Best thing is declining popularity. As evident by global google search results, less crowed local spots.

The worst thing in kiting is when you don't land a really big kiteloop.

I like all the wind surfers at my local. Top blokes.i know i would help anyone of them if needed i i recon the same in return.
Some people have to realise that we all share the water. Its not yours or mine.
Kiters ragging on poleys or poleys ragging on kiters does no one any good it just builds tension and resentment.

Wow
I think maybe kookabrutha you've been paying to much attention to the smelly euros travelling aus, 10 to a van and 20 to a house. ..

Certainly everywhere that I've been that is a noted kite holiday destination is now full of soft handed white collar middle aged extreme kite enthusiasts. .. usually impact vested & helmeted, fingerless kite gloves on with their entire kite quiver pumped up on the beach waiting for the wind to get above a couple of knots...

What i think rowdy meant was. ...

Watching rowdy kite was boring and gay... i mean fake

Poor Rowdy,

He's happy when he can travel the world on the gravy train visiting exotic kiting locations ...

He's sad when he expresses his opinion and folks hate on him.

Poor Rowdy.

When you roll up the leading edge, only to have the other side you already rolled up start un-rolling... I think that's the only thing that sucks. Oh, and getting short tacked.
