John Kerry was windsurfing, not kitesurfing, during his failed campaign:

I think the kitesurfer was a certain Mr John Kerry.

I misunderstood your point and didn't realize Kerry had taken up kitesurfing (good for him!). They must have searched for an image of Kerry windsurfing and taken that one, not realizing the difference. It's funny, because the attack ad the Republicans ran back then prominently featured the sail tacking one way, and then the other, which is kind of hard to confuse with a kiteboarder.
