Have you guys ever had some overweight non athletic looking people asking for lessons ?? We get that all the time in Florida...
What are these people thinking ???
Maybe if they got into the sport they would lose weight....
Or is kiting only for tiny guys?

Don't be quick to judge, I am an "overweight non athletic looking person" who has taken kiting very seriously and kites all the time. I understand there are limits but I am 280lb and can cruise upwind in 14mph.

I have seen people give the "This is to extreme for you attitude" to people asking about the sport. It would be a lot nicer to share your love of the sport and point them in the right direction (lessons). Rather than assume they are not athletic enough.

Yeah these some of these people will never throw a handle pass.... But there is a lot more to the sport than wakestyle tricks
