Good question. I enjoy both. Most people (including myself) who start to Wing get a bit obsessed with learning it and do nothing else for a while. Then you settle down and get back to kiting. I kite when I cannot wing....meaning light days (9-12 MPH avg) or when the waves are too big for my wing skill level, but my preference is the wing whenever I can. I also kite when it has been a long time and I am concerned about losing my kitefoiling skills.
