The sport has changed a lot. the riders too.
For the guys that have been here longuer what are your thoughts

do you prefer the new style, the old days or bouth.

and has a rider/spectator?

as a rider i like the new days! but i also miss hte old days with style and big air!

as spectator i do love the big air

[theflyingtinman]

I only ever went to one kiteboarding contest; King of the Bay at 3rd Ave,
near San Francisco 2 and a half years ago. Though I still prefer to ride a
kite by far the most impressive moves I saw from a spectator viewpoint
were made by the windsurfers.

I have seen Andre Phillip in action a few years ago and immediately decided this is the sport for me. I also saw Aaron Hadlow doing much more complex stuff, and it didn't have that same kick as I got from the first time.

Speaking of that King of the bay comp, I think kiteboarders ruled it and the audience barely noticed the windsurfers.

KEY WORD ANDRE PHILLIP... HE DOES WAKESTYLE WITH POWER LOOK AT LOU WAINMAN, THAT IS KITEBOARDING WAS AND SHOULD BE THE FUTURE. COMBINED WITH WAVERIDING

Today is tomorows "good old days"
Remeniscing is cool, but don't forget to live.
The only constant in life is change, take it as it comes.
