I am a surfer and a kitesurfer - while there is definately an increase in surfers taking up kiting in the surf I thought it might be more -

So i am interested what surfers who dont kite think about kitesurfing in the waves

Thanks

I was trying to score a few waves up at Lanno a couple of weeks ago.
Conditions were the absolute pits - no waves, but I watched a kite surfer havig a lot of fun.
The only drawback for me with kite surfing, is all that friggin' aparatus. Harnesses. air pumps, ropes, and I've seen a couple of guys just about end up over at South Africa as they got hoisted to where they really didn't want to go.
The other thing is, I kinda view it the same way as I do the " tow in " concept.
ie: For me it 'aint really the real deal.
Then again. who's for me to say ....maybe I should try it.
Anyone got a spare kite, air pump, harness, ropes, belts, weight, kite board, etc ?
