Learning this sport now, not as easy as it looks! Imagine balancing on a board, then having to control a kite with one hand and not looking at most of the time. It's a sport of subtlety and refined movements, yet when you get it, it's extreme and dangerous. Loving it, can't wait to fly!!!
erm...why, exactly, would they be judging on criteria weighted MASSIVELY towards creating the least skill dependent output and the most possible risk? ^you get height by trading in speed relative to the wind, you get high-*_er_* by capitalizing on changes in windspeed to widen the gap in the controlling variables. if the wind changes back while you're up in the air past the point where you would have traded out to normally? you no longer have the relative windspeed to generate lift and you just drop right out of the sky like the wind cut out and you're falling through dead air because in relation to you it just *did*
well it is easy to do a 360 at 2m with a little bit of wind, if you did things that people like aaron hadlow, ruben lenten and Youri zoon you would not say its an easy sport.
So I've been surfing, free kayaking, parachuting, and high diving. It looks like this is my next adventure!!

beschwer dich nicht. der einzige, der sich beschweren darf ist dein schwanz, der seid 30 jähren arbeitslos ist.
windsurfing better
no.
Gay anyone can get air on one of those things if you give a big enough kite. Plus you get a soft landing.
