OK, So here are the results from 39 Cool

brave souls who took the survey.
If you would like to have a better understanding of where we kite, how old we are, and other demographic stuff then fill it out. If you don't give a s*&t and you don't want to take it then grab your bong and kiss you dog. Very Happy

The information will help by helping us, that is the kiteboarding community, to have a better understanding of who we are. I hope you find this as interesting as I do. Idea

If you have some suggestions about good survey questions please let me know. This is my first stab at survey monkey and I'm thinking these results are great. It's cool to hear what people are doing. Sometimes the threads can be a little one sided. This survey allows for a non biased look at what folks are doing.

Thanks for taking and being a player! If you are a player hater then put your bong down, leash up your dog and take the survey!!

Peace

Very Happy

What does kiteboarding/windsurfing mean to you?

8. I moved here to windsurf and it is a big part of my life and sanity. I don't kite and will start when my kids start windsurfing. There are A-hole kiters and A-hole winsurfers, neither A-holes are better or worse, they both suck. Kiters take up a lot of room and as long as they are in control I don't have a problem with them. I really don't sail at sites that have a lot of kiters and like to sail 25+ wind so I really don't see them much. Mon, 7/9/07 11:45
