Question: Whats Kite surfing?

Jessica Housden answered on 21 Jun 2010:

It’s a sport where you move large kites (they look a bit like parachutes) to provide the pull. Then, you stand on a board like a snowboard on the sea (like in my profile picture) to pull you over the sea. You can also use the kite to lift you into the air to do jumps as well. In my picture you can see my board and the lines connecting me to the kite; but google it and you’ll see some much better pictures of the sport. It’s fun – you can go really fast and jump over the waves. It is like any extreme sport though – treat it with respect and understand what you’re doing to stay safe.
