What is Kiteboarding?

There is a 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

We carry Naish, DaKine, Slingshot, Neil Pryde, Caution, NPX, Starboard, Creatures of Leasure, Ocean and Earth, Werner, Garmin, AzHiAzIaM, MBS, and much more.

Lanzarote to Fuerteventura Crossing - Tuesday, August 24, 2010 1:39 PM

Stephane Etienne and Nicole Boronat (“LeLovers”) recently accomplished the first SUP crossing between the islands of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, each riding a Naish Glide 14’0”.

The Lovers reached Corralejo Harbor wall at Fuerteventura, after paddling 14 km in 3 hours.

Stephane and Nicole are stoked to have been the first to cross the channel of “La Bocaïna.” Despite the waves, currents and the wind dying down, the Lovers say it was exciting, intense and an excellent experience.

Stephane and Nicole describe the crossing as being a classic downwind, “with a good north wind.” “We are sure that other SUPers will experience it,” say the Lovers. To view a video of the crossing, go to:
