sweet kite loop it a shame about the windsurfer but if i was him i would have been moor up wind and not have been so close to the dude kitesurfer,allthow the kiter should have looked a bit better we all make mistakes

@propaganja85 *extremely late comment* Em probably from balancing point of view while turning, on a KS board you don't have to worry about jibing. I feel like kites are also a bit more forgiving in terms of delivering power to you.

@istos1691. That's bullshit. The ruling is right, but your conclusion is wrong. The windsurfer is riding lower on the wind and therefore can't see the kiter. For that reason, the kitesurfer is wrong in this example. Besides that it is a idiot idea to do your kiteloop without looking.

imo its windserfers fault, cause he simply is on the kiters back, and according to iko rules the one u have infront has priority cause simply he cant see you, while u can see him. Tell me if im wrong, but it is as simple as they say.

Problem with kiters from a windsurfers view is that I find them so "uneaven" in ther riding. Kudos for the quick reaction to lay down his sails

@bornflyer At which level is it harder? I have done both but dont really understand why windsurfing is "alot" harder. I am just curious, got love for both :)

haha exactly :)

yeah, kiter is in fault, but windsurfers are riding always in your way.
