► Kitesurfing or kiteboarding is a surface water sport that uses wind power to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (similar to a wakeboard).

These two styles usually require different boards and specific performance kites. surface water sportsurfboardwakeboardsurface water sportsurfboardwakeboard ► A kitesurfer or kiteboarder uses a board with or without foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power of a large controllable kite to propel the rider and the board across the water.
