Yes is different from surfing, kiting is like towing in and not letting go of the rope, you are not riding the energy of the water. This is made more true by the strength of the wind powering the kite, it turns the wave into more of a wake skate style obstacle then something you harness the power of.
@Kdiscus You are still riding the wave, yes it is similar to being towed in, but the kite is put in neutral while under the waves power... it is similar to a windsurfer surfing a wave, the sail is held in irons while on the wave. I don't disagree that they are not completely different sports, but I wouldn't say the wave is made into a wakeskate style obstacle in any sense
BRRR LOOKS FUN THOUGH/I SURFED VA BEACH WITH SNOW ON BEACH LOL/ WITHOUT A HOOD/FORGET IT/THE PAIN IN THE HEAD IS BEYOND WORDS/BUT NICE TO FIND SPOT WITH NOBODY OUT/GREAT TO SEE A PRO CONTEST THERE/THAT WOULD BE HOT
