I originally became fascinated in the sport around five years ago. I am a professional boat captain by trade, and I used to sail past a few daring individuals surfing waves and catching enormous amounts of air as I was amazed. After many years of windsurfing, I was astounded by how effortlessly these guys could jump and then effortlessly return to the top. A windsurf board departs the water's surface and descends quickly and forcefully. I finally decided to learn how to kiteboard after putting it off for over two years. After receiving the initial butt kick, I took off running and am currently unable to think of anything else I would rather do with my free time.

My best friend and I ran into one other in one of the neighbourhood surf shops where he worked shortly after I found out. I hadn't spoken kitesurfing egyptLinks to an external site. to him in a while, and he immediately said, "I heard you've gone to the Dark Side," of course being an enthusiastic windsurfer. Yes, I said, "and I'm loving every minute of it." He does believe in equal rights and access for all ocean users, so of course he was joking.

Unfortunately, a lot of people do not. The water enthusiasts' world now sees kiteboarding as the bad kid. similar to how skating and snowboarding were practised on land. Many of the opponents of kiteboarding in Hawaii seem to originate from the windsurfing community. How come? Do these Windsurfers not remember that we are currently battling for the same access rights that they fought for twenty years ago? We are all made from the same mould, and we all enjoy the wind. Most kiteboarders transitioned from windsurfing to the "Dark Side." Why can't everyone feel the same way as us when we have no issues sharing?
