    Anyone else here enjoy flying kites?! I'm just wondering where the best place is, I go to Sandymount and have heard that Dollymount beach in Co. Dublin is good too.

    Anyone got any info? :)

    :D

    Hobby - shmobby! Maybe there should be a hobby's board.

    Actually kiteing is also considered a sport. I used to windsurf when I was a younger lad and unfortunately here is not the best place for me to windsurf now. With a proper kite there is a fine line between windsurfing and kiteing. (that fine line being the surface tension - water). There exists kites that are made to pull a person slightly off the ground and to drag them down a beach! Also kites that are strong enough to pull a wheeled surf board buggy along flat ground.

    Is windsurfing considered a sport? In fact what exactly is a sport? Definition please ;)

    Hi Gordan.
    Have a look at the kiting Ireland website

    All aspects of kiting covered on their forum from building kites all the way up to the extreme sport kitesurfing :D
