Not sure why you care so much about what other people are doing or wearing while kiteboarding.
Is our sport not cool enough anymore because anybody can do it? I am not sure why you care as long as you are having fun on the water.
Other people like other things and have different ambitions. It is like saying everybody with a ball must play soccer at champions league level.
People playing basket ball, or god forbid, volleyball at recreational level should stop and become professional soccer players because they are dragging down ball sports!
Sure I would like more room on the water without any beginners or other people mowing the lawn taking up space. Reality is that the beach/water is for everyone.
Better accept the new reality and or find something else to do.

I sometimes wear a retro, neon orange shorty wet suit (circa 1985). The years have taken their toll on this suit and now the ass section is completely blown out... Needless to say I had to start wearing board shorts over top of that bad boy as not to scare the local children.

Hmmm... I recall Toby had a problem with the ass end blowout of his wetsuit. Was caused by too many butt slides...
