Art and science attract many techies to kiteboarding. Sport geeks like to research the wind direction and speeds on sites like iWindsurf.com before heading out, and then reassess those elements at the beach. Like a golfer asking a buddy what club to use, kiteboarders will analyze the waves and winds to pick the right kind of kite for any given day.
