Practical vs ideal kiting…
Lite intressanta reflektioner från en post på kitesurf@yahoogroups.com
Nån som känner igen sig?
Having traveled around the world kiting in the last 7 years I start to
notice there are some differences between practical and ideal kiting:– Practical kiting is what you do at your local spots, ideal kiting
is what you do at kiting paradises
– Practical kiting is a 4 season sport, ideal kiting is mostly about
warmer climate.
– Practical kiting is what you do 99% of the time, the rest is ideal
kiting
– When you buy equipment, you envision 50% practical kiting and 50%
ideal kiting
– The marketeers think 99% ideal kiting and practical kiting is what
most of us do
– Ideal kiting is what you see in the magazines or videos or
competitions and practical kiting is what most of us do
– Ideal kiting is what most kiting equipment is designed for and
practical kiting is what most of us do
– Practical kiting is what you communicate in groups like these and
ideal kiting is what the marketeers try to push
– Practical kiting focus on having fun, ideal kiting focus on being
the best
– Practical kiting focus on the skills 99% of the kiters still
practicing, ideal kiting focus on the skills only few kiters in the
world can do
– Most kite designers live and work near ideal kiting spots
– Most practical kiters live and work near non-ideal kiting spots
– So more kite designers need to live near non-ideal kiting spots and
more kiters need to live near ideal kiting spotsPlease add more …

Så länge du inte upplevt ideal kiting kanske den practical kiting du håller på med just nu e idealet för dig.

Jag känner igen mycket. Dock ser jag mig själv som en nöjjesåkare och anpassar min utrustning och åkstil efter de förhållanden jag har!
Men visst är allt med kiting som med all annan sport?
Visst kan du köpa en kross, men har du inte en bra bana så borde du köpt en enduro bike istället. -
Visst kan du skita men har du ingen toalett får du själv torka efteråt
