I know summers all over now but maybe for next year I would like to get into kite surfing. I'm not sure if it is even called that. But the thing with the kite and the board on water. Just seeing if there are any nsers who kite surf and are on at 1:40 in the morning. If so got any tips or places I should look at stuff. I didn't even bother searchbarring.

look into kite skiing too. it's super fun, go out on a frozen lake or river or any field really where there's nothing to get a kite tangled and any kite-surfing kite will do. highly recommend it

depends on where you're at. check out forums like kite-forum and ikitesurf.com to see if there's anything in your local area. also be ready to spend 2000 or more on gear and lessons (do not skip lessons either)

well i learned how to kiteboard in north carolina off the outer banks, best place to go learn in the shallow sound than take it to the ocean and then to snow its a really fun sport, just expect to drop some serious money on it though.

kiting is sick for sure, but make sure to get some lessons, because its real easy to get in over your head and get messed up. A good way to get cheap lessons, is ask a shop if there is any work you could do for them i exchange for lessons, i have a few friends who did that and ended up saving like 600 bucks.

sorry for the thread jack but if any kiters are interested in some cheap slingshot fuels, 09 7m and a 2010 9m, pm me
