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.


fold kite in half and you only roll once

Always spins me out why people don't fold, it just twice as much work. Additionally by folding of your kite the canopy never touches dirt because the two clean inside face are together.

Everybody knows that the worst thing about Kiteboarding is me. I'm that bad that I can actually stop people in Melbourne from kiteboarding due to jokes I make on these here forums. It's a wonderful horrible life.

Those children have to make a buck some how!

I recon they are probably super stoked to be making kites rather than standing on a street corner asking tourists "$10 for a massa and a boom, boom"

Having to take a s*** with your winter wetsuit on...


The p00 part is OK, it's when you have to take your wetty off that the problem is now real.


Also not being able to red thumb - worst thing in history.
