Kite Surfing
Kite Surfing
is more "wave-riding" oriented. These two styles usually require different boards and specific performance kites.
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 himself and the board across the water. In 2006,
the number of kitesurfers has been estimated at around 150,000 to 210,000,
with 114,465 inflatable kites sold that same year.
The sport is becoming safer due to innovations in kite design, safety release systems, and instruction.
Many riding styles have evolved to suit different types of riders and conditions, such as wakestyle, waveriding, freestyle, jumping, and cruising.
Kiteboarding sometimes can pose hazards to kitesurfers, beachgoers, bystanders
and others on the water. Many problems and dangers that may be encountered while learning kiting (some of which may not be immediately obvious) can be avoided or
minimized by taking professional instruction through lesson centers.
Kitesurfing schools provide courses and lessons to teach various skills including kite launching, flying, landing, usage of the bar, lines and safety devices.
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.
Leading edge inflatable kites, known also as inflatables, LEI kites or C-kites, are typically made from ripstop nylon with a main inflatable plastic bladder that spans
across the front edge of the kite with separate smaller bladders that are perpendicular to the main bladder to form the chord or foil of the kite.
Foil kites are also mostly fabric (ripstop nylon) with air pockets (air cells) to provide it with lift and a fixed bridle to maintain the kite's arc-shape, similar to a paraglider.
