So.... Does this pole represent a demographic of kitesurfers? or a demographic of older internet users who prefer to use forums other than social media?

Thanks for doing this. It seems to hold true here at my local beach in Northern New England, USA.

Based on the poll results so far, I expect to start seeing Viagra and Cialis ads on Kiteforum soon.

The kite companies are absolutely clueless who their primary demographic is.

A stroll on a typical kite beach should give them an idea. Angry old men basically, and an occasional fortysomething psycho chick :D

Kiting is the new golf.
