I got called a teabagger? Whats up with that?? I personally thought it was funny but I took it literally. I was jumping and not landing any of them, kinda dipping in the water like a tea bag.

Is it some trash talk windsurfers have for kiteboarders? Anyone find it offensive?

Had never heard it before. Confused

in kiting terms,....

Teabagging is when your overpowered and get lifted off your feet repeatedly. This generally happens when your kite falls back into the power zone, only to load up and send you flying forward/downwind past the kite...the kite then falls back into the powerzone and proceeds to teabag you.

But coming from a windsmurfer.....dems fightin words Twisted Evil

At least we "kiters" CAN be lifted off the ground. That 100% completely the point to doing this type of thing. I don't see any windsurfers jumping to 40ft, and landing or droping into the water. Laughing

IMO this is what makes kiting better than windsurfing.

Not that windsurfing isn't cool cuz it is!

So talk sh*t all you want, kiters or windsurfers, because deep down none of it really matters.

Have a good one all!

Also a name surfers call bodyboarders. Bodyboards look like tea bags. Laughing

I thought it was funny...I did call him a pole dancer in return. It kinda fits me since I do crash more jumps than land. Was thinking about changing my user names to teabagger lol!! Laughing

I've surfed for 16 years and never heard bodyboarders called teabags. I do call them land mines and sunday drivers, there slow and always in the fuckin way Mad

My buddy Jeff is a long time gorge pole sailor and he refers to all kiters as tea-baggers. It's all in good fun. He always says to me: "Man that looks fun. If I had health insurance and wasn't so old, I'd give it a try!"

No making fun of winsurfers unless you can boost as big as Dale Cook. Very Happy

Dale Cook also used to go HUGE when he kited. I think he sold all of his kite gear like 8 years ago. Respect.

if i saw you out there doing that i would call you a teabagger too...or maybe he wants you to teabag his face..

I would like to propose that henceforth any trick that involves jumping over and or pissing a windsurfer be properly named with the appropriate intro; teabag kungfu air, teabag f-16, and the teabag dangle. Laughing

P.S. where the hell are kiteme,bulae,hamlind,blowme,spike, and the snow goddammit? sorry spike and hamlind, goddammit.
