do you lay out your lines or..............your 100ft 4 piece string mast
do you you steer with your feet or.......your tiller
do you use a kitebar or .... maybe your kitebar is in fact a boom
do you remain floating on the water when there is no wind or... do you sink with a large inflated object flying towards the water
do you say you are going sailing... or do you say you are going kiting
do you pump up you sail.. or is it a kite
can your sailing boat boost 40ft in the air lol - why not?
can you loop your mainsail
did i slam hard on a flat 5 attempt or ..... did i in fact capsize
has the history of kitesports been rewritten while I was not paying attention :nono:

I would say the spelling...

you don't hear the term kitesailing too much... if ever... you hear kitesurfing and kiteboarding lots :)

probably all equally accurate though
