Re: Kiteboarding in Russia
Great example of American "soft power". The whole world, doesn't matter who it is, is totally enthralled with American youth culture. It is truly Pax Americana out there.

Re: Kiteboarding in Russia
Guys, you have to know how spoiled you are here, in the Bay Area.
Few details about THAT spot:
If during the season there you get few times a week a wind like the worst gusty summer wind here - you are lucky. And the season is just few months. Waves are really small - I have never seen a surf-board there. Most people go to a flat water of shallow coastal salt lake, which is even dirtier than the worst ebb-tide at 3rd ave. It's far from a civilization, you should take a week of vacation at least to go there. Regular kite sizes are 14-18m2 there. And it's probably THE BEST kite spot in Russia.
On the other hand a kite border in Russia have a lot of time to celebrate kiteboarding, when there is no wind. Parties, Girls, Alcohol...
