With the wind in the hair – Kiteing


Kiteing

Who among us has not wished to be able to walk on water? For example, when standing on the coast and want to continue the way, but you can not. Well you can, with the board and the parachute, and yet almost as freely as you go "on foot". And not only that the knowledge of surfing with the dragon and the parachute (kiteboarding), also known as kiting, driving attractive to travel on the sea, but also on snow, ice, sand consolidated basis or even a meadow. Specialty of kiting is that it can be implemented in all seasons. But since summer is here, let’s stay on the water.
It is not surprising that people have for years endeavored to be the dragon and made navigable object in the water. The first, which it is in 1993 about it, it was Cory Roeseler. However, his attempt on monoski with a large dragon, which was managed by a leading rod and motorized winding cords, was a commercial failure. The real development has enabled the invention of brothers Bruno and Dominique Legaignoux, already in 1984, the patented system of parachutes with inflatable tubes, which was after the two lines connected to the management club. When Manu Bertini and others in 1996 in France on the beaches near Montpellier this system start to use in the weighted boards for windsurfing (windsurfing), was born kiting.
