What is Kitesurfing?
Kitesurfing or kitesurfing is an extreme water sport using the wind to power the kite and a board to move across the water. The sport combines aspects of paragliding, surfing, windsurfing, skateboarding, snowboarding and wakeboarding. Harnessed to a large hand-controlled kite (size of the kite depends on person’s weight and wind speed) and powered by the wind, the kiteboarder uses a board to ride and glide across the water.
