Kitesurfing goes Olympic in Rio 2016

This is my personal point of view about the decision to get kiteboarding into the olympics in 2016 in Rio.
What a chance for a fast growing spot like kiteboarding. Sailing till now has been pretty much boring to watch, since most of the races are held a few kilometers offshore and the spectators don't see it or understand it. So what the ISAF is looking for is a new class that can bring in more media coverage and more spectators to the beach. Kiteboarding is the perfect match for this problem.
The sport is very attractive for young people, it is colorful, loaded wt action, tactics and close up finishes and most of all it will be the most affordable olympic watersport ever. A full standard quiver will cost u no more that about 3000$ - 5000$ which is affordable to pretty much everyone, compared to a small dinghy or sailboat which cost 10times as much and more...
The sad part is that we kicked out windsurfing to get our spot, but on the other hand it is the chance for windsurfing to change the rules and reapply wt a new class, which should be more attractive, modern and bring in more spectators and young guns as well. The RSX class was just boring and the lack of big names did not make it more attractive. If i chat wt any real windsurfer who rides actually in the world tour or European tour, they all tell me the same story... RSX is boring and oldskool, and no one of them can tell u any names of a windsurf Olympic champion. There is just a handful of windsurfers who do nothing else than training on that board and sail, but most of them never really achieved anything in the real windsurfing classes.
That is the best reason for kiteboarding not to become as boring and oldskool, and the way to do this is wt the boxrule and never a one design class.
There is a lot of meetings goin on and every kiteboarder have to join his national organization, so we can have proper selections of the best races of each country to join the games.
I'm very positiv about it, we will be there and show all those pessimist that we can do it, and that we actually already have some very good kiteboarders out there... we don't really need any rsx racers that has no more job and thinks he will be the best kiteboarder in 4years time.
We will need a whole lot of trainers and coaches, this is the chance for everyone to get involved.

Kiteboarders unite and show the world that we can do it!
