One must be very careful and be aware of safety measures for extreme water sports like kitesurfing. Because of wind gusts, strong forces will be generated enough to carry away people and dash them against water, terrains, and buildings. Most fatalities are due to such hazards caused by power kites. Jumping at inappropriate places and collisions with other surfers are other hazards. Usually at 50km/h surfer gets tired and carried away from shore where it is difficult for an easy swim. Other dangers are from sharks, jellyfishes, and crocodiles.

Safety Rules to be Followed

Height of the Kite: To avoid collisions, kiter who is nearer to the wind or who is above other kiters must keep the kite high enough to avoid collision with the liners of other kiters. Similarly, those who are at a lower height should manage their kite high to be safe.

Clearance Distance Range: A kiter must have 30m clearance during upwind and 50m clearance during downwind. Sailing rules also applicable for kite surfing.

Sailing Rule 12 or Starboard Rule: The kiter who has the wind on the right side, right leg, or arm leading in direction of travel (starboard) has the right of way when coming in opposite directions. The kiter who has the wind on the port side should give the way.

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.
