Kitesurfing is unlike any other activity out there! It is an extreme sport that is being practiced all around the world by people of all ages. Despite kiteboarding being an extreme sport, it is safely learnable within a few days with proper instruction. Kite lessons vary in price and difficulty depending on the location. Most kitesurfing packages are 6-9 hours and cost between 350 and 900 USD.

Kiteboarding as we do it today dates all the way back to the late 1970s. Invented by Bruno and Dominque Legainoux in France. The brothers eventually filed a patent in November 1984 for an inflatable kite design which many companies use today to develop their own products.  

Kiteboarding is an extreme sport that can be dangerous not only to the rider but also, to those around him. It is crucial to learn with a certified school or instructor as this will ensure a safe learning environment and complete progression to master the sport.
