Depends if it is blowing 30 knots not sure a surfing comp would work. It is it's own discipline, why not have a comp.

Ben Wilson once quoted ;

"A kite is merely a surfing accessory, nothing more, nothing less."

It's simply a means to an end.

A resource to circumvent the need for paddling.

A kite is a surfing accessory amongst other surfing accessories ...

in the company of legropes let's say,

and gopros.

lol.

Well, maybe the legrope and the kite is an odd pairing ?

Maybe the jetski as a surfing accessory is a better analogy ?

It's closer in a certain respect.

Whereby the jetski tows out the rider not unlike the kite does ...

and then releases the rider into a wave ride.

But the kite is never ever released ...

and there is the rub.

Isn't that what telemarkers think of skiers who use chairlifts?

I think we should have a wetsuited class and an unwetsuited class.
Wet suits are sooo gay.
You really cant rate those who kite with & those who kite without in the same league.
