Kitesurfing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Kiteboarding is still in its infancy, but is quickly becoming a safer sport due to innovations in kite design and safety sytems. Kite surfing, also known as kitesurfing and kiteboarding, and sometimes as flysurfing, involves using a power kite to pull a small surfboard, or wakeboard (on water), a wheeled board on land, or a snowkiting. In normal riding, the kiteboarder takes a heading which is as close to into the wind as possible, and in any event leads at some angle slightly upwind, sometimes as much as 45 degrees; jumping or wave riding usually results in traveling downwind, so the net result is to maintain relative position. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kitesurfing   (4292 words)
