Re: Freestyle for the not so young
err I'm 35 and just learning the sport lol
He is not old at all. When I was in Aruba, I met a 94 year old who was doing all kinds of craziness, making us youngsters look bad. Given the sport has only been around since about 2000, it means he learned at 80 at the earliest.
Kitesurfing is not a young only sport imo, in fact, other than a few dedicated college kids and industry related people, most of the people I see kitesurfing are 40+. The high initial expense to get into the sport is a barrier for most younger people when compared to surfing or snowboarding.

If 35 is old then I guess I must be a fossil!
