Kiteboarder collides with a windsurfer

[bryanleighty]

its pretty rare for us to deal with a huge windsurfing and kitesurfing population in one area...

ive kited in the gorge and recently in hatteras area.. there are places where the windsurfers outnumber the kiters 20 to 1 or more.. almost like a wall of windsurf sails across the water.. every time you try to yield to one, youve got 3 more riding up behind you full speed expecting you to get the F outta their way... you cant jump, you cant tack.. its a mess in some areas..

i dont think its a problem in our launches..

some days are busier than others.. but i'd say weve got bigger things to worry about..

it is kinda sad that there would be any sort of annimosity between two groups of people looking for the same thrills on different equipment..

id bet a lot of it is overblown and invented..
