The first I need to clear about this: You can learn and kiting even though you knew any sports before if you really want to learn kitesurfing. In this article I just focus on one side of issue in this case you care about this and would like to learning about this topic: that snowboarding and skateboarding are good support or bad support for learning kite?
When you are Pro in any sports that you joined then you can switch between them easy but when you are Pro in snowboarding and skateboarding but you still beginner in kitesurfing then what happened when you learn?
Quick answer: No, they are bad support for kite surfing.
Why?
In kitesurfing when you stand on the board, your force in your back leg. You need to do more pressure or less pressure on back leg. Depend the power of the kite.
This opposite on snowboarding and skateboarding. In these sports your force is front leg.
So, when you learning kite you will get some confused and you need to take the time to get used to it. in the beginning stage you always crash in the water. and yes of course you will pass this problem if you take enough the time to practicing. Practicing in real and in your mind…
And in the end the day you will proficient with these sports and you can switch between them easily.
