Latest Extreme Sport, Kitesurfing |
by:
Ispas Marin |
Looked at many extreme sports but just can't find the right thrills? It's time to take a look at the ocean, you might just find some inspiration.
Our latest craze in extreme sports is kitesurfing, it only started out in 1990 but there are tens of thousands of enthusiasts around the world. U can go to any ocean side on a Sunday and you'll see that kitesurfing has a strong following and has expanded quickly.
Our kitesurfing board is a surfboard but shorter and the kitesurfer is attached to it with foot straps or bindings. U have the board attached to a kite, that looks more like a parachute, by a series of lines of various lengths. Our board is propelled by the kite across the water at quite great speeds.
Our challenge in kitesurfing is that your body is the only connection between the kite and the board and mastering the control of both the kite in the air and the board on the water is a key point.
If you're asking yourself how it is possible for a kite to stay in the air while holding the weight of the board and your weight at the same time the explanation is this: while flying, a kite is creating it is own wind and the wind it creates is faster than the wind powering it producing more power than the actual wind.
Our Kitesurfing Gear
U might think that kitesurfing is not an expensive sport but that is not entirely true, the board and kite are not the only equipment you need. Other equipment components are a kite pump(inflatable kite), bar, lines, board harness, life jacket and helmet. If you'll add the starting lessons you'll get a good amount that you'll have to spend.
Taking Kitesurfing Lessons
Our theory behind kitesurfing is simple enough, the practice is another story. Because of that you need a little while to master. Kitesurfing enthusiasts should take lessons from an experienced kitesurfing instructor before practicing this sport, no matter how much experience you have with surfing or windsurfing.
