Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, and Kayaking?
I'm actually starting to get an itch for extreme water sports (no fishing lol) and I've ran into Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Wakeboarding, and Kayaking. Just so you know where I am to start, I'm in South Florida Miami where the winds usually dont blow very much (but from the vids on Youtube, people have managed to do the above) anyway, I was woundering what's the best one to get into for the best price and what might I be paying for any?
From what I've read and seen Windsurfing packages go for like $1500 and Kite Surfing Kites go for like $900 – with no board!
Can I get into anyone of these water sports with like $1000 and build on what I have using peices of the old equipment?
Is there anything cheaper?
Or should I stick with Kayaking ($250 for the one I'm looking at)?
Curly Answers:
Kitexcite sell used Best Kiteboarding Kites for very low and affordable price.
Miami is but a short and cheap flight away (and we here at Kitebeach have wind for kite surfing almost every single day!).
Always best you try before you buy and Kitexcite enables you to try out boards and kitesurfing kites.
Best you call Stefan for more info: +1(829)962-4556 or Skype him on: kitexcite-stefan

I vote for kayaking . I have tried wind surfing and have sold the one we owned. Now we own a kayak among our other boats. If you do not get much wind forget kite surfing. Although along the ocean there generally seems to be some.

No, it isn't really the same as paddling a canoe. A kayak paddle is a long pole with blades at both ends, offset 90 degrees from each other (so if one blade is lying flat, the other will be standing vertically). I believe the standard way of paddling is to grasp the paddle with both hands fairly far apart (at least shoulder width), sweep one blade back through the water with the blade oriented perpendicular relative to the direction of motion, then bring it back up, then rotate the paddle using your 'control hand' (probably your right hand) so that the other blade is perpendicular to the direction of motion, sweep it back through the water, rotate the paddle BACK, repeat. It's quite simple to understand, the only difficult part is the rotation which does not come very naturally at first. Any experienced kayaker will be able to tell you how to paddle properly
