Extreme Sports : Kite Surfing

      Although it is a relatively new sport Kite Surfing or Kite Boarding as it is also known has grown in popularity immensely and has a very devoted group of followers. Kite Surfing is done by surfing on water by using a wakeboard and being pulled by a giant kite which is attached to your body.

You learn by first taking control of a smaller training kite over land which you learn to maneuver fully. Once this is done and you have also mastered a normal size Kite over land, then you begin using the board over water. Although this may seem complicated, once you master the flying of the kite and managing air currents, it becomes much easier. All the handwork pays off as it can be one of the funnest extreme sports as you learn to go fast and do jumps.

     Below are many great places to learn about the sport and how and where to start.

Good Luck and Have Fun,
