SOUTH FLORIDA KITEBOARDING

Kiteboarding/Kitesurfing Basic

Kiteboarding and Kitesurfing are the same sports – they are often referred to differently based on location.

Kitesurfing uses wind to pull a rider through the water on a small kite board or surfboard.

A kite surfer uses a board with or without straps with a large, inflatable kite to move across the water.
