For those of you that have sampled multiple disciplines, what one do you like best? I started kite skiing, moved to buggy and now am taking my first
baby steps to learning soft water. Hands down kite skiing is my favorite so far. That could change down the road, but nothing comes close as of now.
I feel fortunate to have the proper seasons and geography to do more than two disciplines. Some of us are not so fortunate because of location.

I'm very undisciplined.
:evil:

Nice thread. Mobile kiting for me is less than one year under my belt so I still rank myself as pretty much a beginner in all my kite pursuits. With
that caveat I would have to say that Snowkiting is nosing itself into the lead. Buggying is pretty darn nice too, particularly on the Ivanpah playa.
I bought some all-terrain skates just before our snow came in, and I have high hopes that they will become a mainstay too.
Kite sports are like pizza - it's all good!

I still prefer stunting & static. I do enjoy the buggy ride but I rarely get the right conditions and a day off at the same time..

I Started in the buggy, attempted the water a couple of times, didn't do bad, but could never just find the time in the summer (volunteer in two
different baseball organizations, coaching three teams and VP of one and Pres of the other) then I tried land boarding. Did pretty decent with that.
But make no mistake when the wind is honking, I always grab my buggy over the other two!

Because of my location I'm solidly a beginner everywhere, but of landboarding, snowkiting, and kiteboarding I think I'd have to lean towards
snowkiting, but really I fly whatever the weather dictates.
When I get a more comfortable going out alone on the water I suspect that might become my favorite.

The mountainboard is my jam. More solid feeling than the water, and slides are WAY more fun. Also, I'm just a lot better at it.

I like my mountain board but sometimes fishing is good and then there's that buggy and sometimes the bike but then the skateboard and the flowtails...
Maybe just a hike with the doggie

For me ..... twin tip kiteboarding and big air is #1 ...... nothing like jumping 30' high without being afraid of crashing into ground ..... lol
..... So ..... Big air, air style (old school ) or freeride ..... all same thing ....... freestyle ( unhooked ) is not for me , but I can do
few tricks ......
Snowkiting ...... I would love it if there is more snow in my area and some terrain .... flat fields and frozen lakes are boring ....
Buggy ...... Speed is awesome, power slides or simple cruising ..... no free styling for me ....
... Wave riding looks awesome ...... but I am afraid of that crushing power .... I can ride anything up to 6' and it is fun .....
Foilboarding ..... I really want to try that !!!! ...
Landboard ...... I sell my ...... It was almost same as kiteboarding with extra risks ....
