There is a brand new sport that is like surfing, wakeboarding, and flying all at once.  If you’ve ever been to Pismo Beach on a windy day, you will see over two dozen kiteboarders in the water or doing tricks high above it.  Most of these riders are ordinary people that are simply addicted to this amazing extreme sport called kiteboarding.

Kiteboarding uses the wind to combine the aspects of surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, and windsurfing into one extreme ocean sport.  The kite, anywhere from 6-20 square meters, powers the rider through the water.  The kite will have either 4 or 5 lines up to 27 meters long that connect to a control bar, which the rider pushes and pulls to control the kite in any direction.  The bar hooks into the rider’s harness, which is most often worn around the waist. A board similar to a wakeboard or surfboard enables the rider to fly over the water. Check out our kites, boards, and harnesses here

Naish Summer Kite Race Series/Maui - Tuesday, July 20, 2010 2:40 PM

The first event of the Naish Kite Race Series took place on July 10th at Naish Beach on Maui. The conditions were nice, with somewhat light wind — around 15-25 knots. More than 40 competitors entered the race. At least 80 kites were rigged up on the beach, along with a huge crowd of spectators.

Congratulations to Des Walsh — who placed 3rd in Surfboard Race 2, and to Greg Drexler — who placed 3rd in Twin tip Board Race 2 (Both Des and Greg were riding on the Naish Park).

In the Women’s Overall division, Karlie Thoma placed 1st, Raquel Da Cruz Lima in 2nd, and Natasha Gronski & Monika Redins in 3rd. Awesome job, ladies!
