We need all windsurfers to get behind the petition to stop this rediculous decision. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/General/ISAF-Selects-Kiteboarding-For-Rio-2016/
Flame suit on here ready to be grilled
Maybe if freestyle or waves or slalom were the format people may be a little more supportive - course racing - IMHO as skilled as it is 2 km off a harbour doesn't make for a great spectacle for an Olympic sport maybe its time for a change - its certainly one Olympic event I don't look out for
I know you SA breezers will one this, but kiteboarding course racing is to be included in 2016.
I personally windsurf racing but the masses have spoken.
Kiteboard course racing....now ive heard it all
Cant wait to see some close racing....should be kites tangled up everywhere 
In the 90's, a mate of mine who did Judo complained about Judo becoming an Olympic sport. He was all for it before it's introduction, but after that, the demand for the sport increased, and schools and equipment manufacturers got on the band wagon, hiking up the lineage and equipment fees. With many users on Seabreeze complaining about the cost of equipment, could this happen to Windsurfing ?
I suppose we can only wait and see what happens to Kiting.
Follow this link more closely on the general windsurfing site. There is a lot of good feedback there.

May be a stupid suggestion?? Why not do both!!??? Then they can have some good on water antics between kiters and windsurfers!! would be more interesting to watch!
Olympics are are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring, why don't they drop all the events and find something more exciting.
