Freedom Kite Mag:
What is the worst thing about kiteboarding?

Rowdy:
There’s lot of things that I don’t particularly like, I mean I do love doing the sport but certain things definitely get me annoyed. Pretty high up on the list for me would probably be the way pros and people associated with the sport act. What am I talking about? Well, just the way so many people are basically putting on this big fake act… they walk around telling everyone how awesome everything is and how stoked they are all the time about kiting, but behind closed doors they are super bitter and talking **** about lots of stuff. The more people you get to know in kiting the more you realise that this type of person is basically the norm. Kiting is boring and fake. Other sports have lots of people that aren’t afraid to publicly say what they think about different things involved with the sport, but as soon as you do that in kiting people think you are a c#nt… Just because you have an opinion doesn’t mean you are hating on something, or someone. People in kiting can’t seem to separate having an opinion on brands, tricks or things from having an opinion of the person related to those things.

Agreed....Good onya rowdy.... Telling it like it is.....

Something I've noticed kiting at Woodies and more so at The Pond which are frequented by pros, the next tier down "wannbee pros", "team riders", "supported by", "sponsored chicks who cant kite" and so on every summer....alot of them so obnoxious, unfriendly, disrespectful to locals and so far up their own azzes in a mediocre professional sport with no money involved.... No wonder they are all instragram whores.... gotta get a pic, need more likes to hopefully get another discounted kite lol....All a facade and wealthy parents
