Kite Surfing

Kite Surfing or commonly called kitesurfing or kiteboarding is a exciting water sport where a rider is on a surfboard while hanging on to a tow from a big kite that catches the wind and pulls the rider along. The rider can do stunts like flipping and jumping. The surfboard used in this sport is also called a kiteboard or a wakeboard.
Kiteboarding usually means the rider has a free style to his ride and doesn't always ride waves. The rider can use this method on rivers or lakes.
Kite Surfing tends to refer to riding the ocean waves while using the big kite

As of 2006 there was an estimated 150,000 to 210,000 participating in this water sport. Since then it continues to gain in popularity.

It is advised that persons interested in Kite Surfing take lessons. Otherwise the sport can be dangerous to the rider and bystanders on the beaches as the rider learns to control the direction of his kite.

"Turning
A beginner can turn by putting the kite up into neutral, stopping, sinking backwards into the water, then turning the kite in the opposite direction and starting again.

Controlled flying and jumping
Controlled flying is possible and one of the biggest attractions of the sport, but more difficult and dangerous. Flying occurs when the momentum of the surfer pulls the kite. Before jumping, the surfer builds up as much tension as possible by accelerating and strongly edging the board. Then in controlled, straight flight, the kite is flown quickly (snapped) to an overhead position, usually just as the surfer goes over a wave

Board grabs
Board grabs are common tricks performed while a rider is jumping or has gained air from popping by grabbing the board in a number of positions with either hand.

Power kites
A power kite is available in two major forms: leading edge inflatables and foil kites."

    you forgot to mention that safety comes first. a kite surfer must ensure not only his safety but also the safety of the people around him. :)
