If you do different kite sports other than kitesurfing. Snow kiting, buggying, landboarding. How often do you do those sports.

He want's to know how often you kite, not how small your penis is.

For the last 5 years it's been at least 3-4 times a month. Hoping to increase that in another year and half.

He's asking how often you kite on land. 0 for you as you're such a sap

Maybe i should be more clear.
How often do you kitesurf?
If you do other kite sports how often do you do those. As an example if you kite surf during summer and snow kite during winter what is the difference.

If it is warm enough I kitesurf. In New York, January and Februrary are too cold for water so I try to snowkite.
Last winter I went on snow twice. The snow didn't really hold that well on the beach (wind would blow it off). The snow would melt quickly or it would be too cold for the snow to stick well.
I could have driven 4 hours + to find better snow kite spot but I go to travel twice to Caribbean so it got me through winter.
Hopefully this winter the snow will stick better.

Here in Montreal most people will Kiteski or Kitesnow(board)... Since you can easily get going in less than 10 knots with a 12m and a 10m in anything stronger than 10 knots, opportunities are there. A good winter is 30-40 sessions if you are stuck with weekends only, you have about 45 possible days max but you can normally kite once a week on average. Snow conditions, Ice conditions, weather you kite on a lake or in a field, these are are elements that will affect your number of outings. Normally we do a mix of both. Last year was very cold, the snow would be blown away very quickly so I went out 10 times and enjoyed 3 of them... I also went to Martinique... 10 in 14 days in the warm water....Life is good

It's all about the snow. Some years 100 sessions some years 0. Last year was closer to 100. You could have snowkited from chicago to buffalo if you had the time. This el nino, I'm thinking it will be closer to 0 this year.
