More likely the medium- www.kiteforum.com now fills the shoes of this group IMO.

I haven't read the kitesurf group for a while and only read our local
group (which is very active).
I guess the sport is pretty mature now that the need to reach out and
"touch" the rest of the world is not there anymore.
Anyway, happy 10th anniversary everyone!
