Umm, a friend who was a sponsored windsurfer said much the same thing and has converted. Maybe I should try it.
Last year in Queensland Australia people where getting on the bus with boards and small backpacks and getting off the bus 5 or 10 miles down the coast. It suddenly occured to me they where kite boarders wanting a fast downwind run. Wow, you couldn't do THAT with a windsurfer.
