Kids these days just play video games haha. No really.
Kids young enough to be under parents wing still, are generally not encouraged to engage in (potentially life/limb threatening) extreme sports.
Kids are in school and cannot just leave when the wind picks up. The athletic ones are in organized sports already that soak up the free time. Same goes for young professionals, working all days including the windy ones.
You have to be passionate about kiting to squeeze it in to an already complicated and busy life, and chances are you aren’t that passionate about it until youve done it successfully, so its a dilemma that keeps a lot of people from ever getting started.
Retired people have the time and flexibility to make it happen. With a conditions dependent sport such as this you have to be able to drop everything on a day or two, or less, notice in order to get lots of quality sessions in. Most people are simply not in that position, even the retired ones.
On a part of the earth that blows every day consistently so that weekends/evenings could be relied on for a session, Im guessing all ages are on the water. I wouldn’t know for sure as Ive never been to such a magical place.
