SICK!!! I wanted to get into kitesurfing this year but couldn't do to finances this year. Next year I'm either getting a sailboat or kite! 🤘

[@heheemichaeljackson110]

In The Surf there’s a big financial difference between the two... A sailboat is much more expensive and requires maintenance, while a kite is, well, a kite

[@xpelcapecod]

@@heheemichaeljackson110 Depends on what you get. Kite setup and classes are going to run you about 3,000.. which is just about what I'd spend on a small sailboat.
