Quite amusing banter and an old thread but couldn't resist posting when I can across it.
Just thought I'd add the crossover between the sports is wayyy closer than the 90%, 10% rubbish posted previously.
Almost every one of the decent kiters I know wakeboarded (and snowboarded) before kiting. (And still do both). In fact if they hadn't wakeboarded first the learning curve would be way bigger and all the learners I know who've not wakeboarded struggle like hell.
We kite coz we board on the irish sea and its always fecking rough and windy. When its flat and calm we wakeboard.
Its that simple.
