What is kitesurfing

what-is-kitesurfing

Kitesurfing is an adventurous sport which began in the 1980s, but didn’t gain popularity until the turn of the millennium. Before 2000 there were less than a thousand kite surfers worldwide. In 2005 that number had swelled to nearly 100,000.

The premise of kitesurfing is simple: by using a large, powerful kite for propulsion, while you manoeuvre on top of a board similar to a wake board, snow board or a surfboard enabling you to chill out and cruise along the water with the ability to reach high speeds and perform amazing adrenaline pumping moves and jumps.

The kites used in kitesurfing are very large kites, referred to as power kites. They are capable of being relaunched from the water, and of sufficient surface area to generate pull and enormous lift.

Kitesurfing is not just about the time on the water, you will not find many sports where there is such a friendly atmosphere. You will see some of the best scenery in your life time and when you come off the water you will feel elated. All of the above is what kitesurfing is all about.
