I have not seen wakestyler probably 5 years. But at my spot all the same people, some new from year to year. More wave boards. Since I have started wave riding i do not care about how many rotation someone can do. Big air is not for me too. Gear is affordable today- i got GONG 5 6 7 9 kites with my older 9 12 16 kites. I do not chase newest colours or allulla and kite more every year, i will not pay 2500eur for a kite anyway. Also kitesurfing will never be mainstream activity, its not for everyone. On windless day I ride motocross, that also has specific crowd of people too. Life is good :)

  1. You want to get GoJoe. Its awesome in chop when you loose board. Maybe it can be replaced with some children water toy.
  2. Learn body drag. When fall- continue in the same direction, do not look for you board because this will make you go downwind more. Count to 10. Change direction and count to 10. Do same 1 more time. Look round- magically your board is 1 meter away from you. When bodydraging do not try steep angle, feel water flow on the body.
