Kite boarding

Kite boarding is a recreational sport that combines board and paragliding and is easier to learn than windsurfing. However, caution is advised, as there are risks of injuries if you get blown high in the air or get swirled in sudden gusts of wind. Kite boarding is more appropriate to enjoy in wide-open sea waters.

With 5 to 7 sessions of instruction and some individual practice, you will be able to ride, if yet awkwardly, on the surface of the waters. If you learn and practice for a year, you will likely master the more difficult skills. While kite boarding has its own risks, it is such an attractive sport that can get you hooked once you feel the ecstasy of gliding on the water in high gear or flying up in the air.

Presentation of Kitesurfing

Kitesurfing or Kiteboarding is a surface water sport that uses wind power to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard.Generally kiteboarding refers to a style of riding known as freestyle or wake-style, whereas kitesurfing is more "wave-riding" oriented. These two styles usually require different boards and specific performance kites.

A kitesurfer or kiteboarder uses a board with or without foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power of a large controllable kite to propel themself and the board across the water.
The sport is becoming safer due to innovations in kite design, safety release systems, and instruction.Many riding styles have evolved to suit different types of riders and conditions, such as wakestyle, waveriding, freestyle, jumping, and cruising.
