Everything you need to know about kitesurfing

Kitesurfing is a variation of surfing; it is practiced on a board by holding a bar, to which a special kite is attached. The wind inflates and stretches the kite, pulling the surfer through the waves. The essential elements of the discipline are water and wind. To learn how to kitesurf, the first thing to do is to know the theory of winds.

All kitesurfing courses, in fact, begin with a theoretical part in which the student learns how to recognize currents and control the kite on land. Only after becoming familiar with the bar and kite can you enter the water and take your first steps on the board.

Contrary to what is often thought, kitesurfing is a sport for everyone. Of course, those who already practice a board sport have an advantage, but with a basic course you start from scratch and everyone can learn. The only requirement is to be able to swim.
