10 Reasons Why Every Girl Should Learn to Kiteboard

10 Reasons Why Every Girl Should Learn to Kiteboard

1. It makes you look freaking hot
Without even noticing that you are working your body, it will transform immensely. It is a ridiculously nice side effect.

2. You will want to eat a lot, and you can
If you kiteboard for two times a week, 2/3 hours per session, you will be able to eat anything you want.

3. Meditation included
Checking the wind conditions, driving up to the beach, laying out your lines, pumping up and launching your kite, riding the waters with the wind in your hair and the sun on your face; will make you tune out everything. No thoughts, no worries. It is a zen experience which will leave you in total calmness after every session. Include a couple of yoga stretches before and after and you can skip your meditation and yoga classes all together.

4. Happy people around
The kiting community is generally extremely helpful and friendly. It is inherent to the sport as you need somebody to help you launch and land your kite.

5. Life is a beach or a pile of snow
What could be nicer than always having to go to the beach. De-stress, revive, enjoy and catch up on your tan. And when you hit winter, you can always take yourself for a powder ride as kiteboarding is also possible in snow.

6. Shop until you drop
Style is important, and as more girls are discovering kiteboarding, so are all the brands picking up on this. There is swimwear, kites, boards and much more being especially designed for girls as we speak.

7a. Kiteboys adoring you, while heaps of others admire you
You are a chick on a kiteboard -what is there not to love?

7b. Your boyfriend, the kiteboarder, will love you MORE
Joining your boyfriend has only advantages. Not only will he get a chance to show off his knowledge, he is also going to be very proud of you and extremely happy. It will only improve your relationship as you get to share a very unique experience. Moreover, he will not have to divide his time anymore between the wind and you, and you will not have to follow him around pretending that you are okay with tanning in the midst of a sandstorm.

8. Great learning experience
Kiteboarding is more about safety and technique than raw strength, which is nice for a change when learning a new sport. It also means that you are never too old to start kiteboarding. Next to this, having to learn how to control different things at the same time makes you feel smart and cool. On top of all this, I can add that the learning process is exponential. In the beginning it feels like just thinking about it is making you master your kite control.

9. Queen, pick your trade
Kiteboarding is versatile in many ways. You need the synergy of wind and water forces; you have to learn to how to work with your kite, board and harness; and you can kiteboard rivers, lakes, oceans and even snow. Above all, you are able to choose between a couple of riding styles that suit you the best and that you enjoy the most. You can ride waves (kitesurfing), practice awesome tricks on flat water (freestyle), or ride from A to B for hours letting the wind take you down (downwinders). Try it all. Do it all.

10. Learn to fly
Well, what?! Yes, when you learn how to catch air, you will be able to launch yourself above the water and soar in the air for seconds. How is that for magic.

Wow - that's one of the most grotesquely sexist, insulting and patroning things I've read for a long long time.

To summarise:

1 If you kitesurf you'll look hot and can get more cock.
2 You won't be as fat.
3 Random men will think you're hot, you'll get more cock.
4 You are no longer restricted to sunbathing, because that's all girls do.
5 You can go shopping more, because that's all girls do.
6 Your boyfriend will love you more and give you more cock.

I honestly thought this was a joke....but I'm scared it's not :o

Some people can take any positive message, and put a negative spin on it. Some other people can take any message and make it all about religion, race, color, or sex. Some people can turn any message and make it all suggestive and dirty. A very select few can combine all three, and turn any message into a negative, sexist comment that's all about cock. :lol:

If you kiteboard for two times a week, 2/3 hours per session, you will be able to eat anything you want.
I would venture a guess and say if any person on the planet was to do 4-6hrs per week of any light physical activity they would be able to eat most anything they want... but you'd still have to watch some stuff... like soda... sugar is the silent killer.

But yeah ... 4-6hrs per week kiting would only be a dream for me :lol:
