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.
 

The Dakhla Festival 2011: Morocco

SUP News
Dakhla, Morocco 
 
Dakhla, with its open bay on the Atlantic, is fast becoming a hotspot in the world of water sports. For the 5th consecutive year, amateur and professional of windsurfing, kitesurfing, surfing and stand up paddling disciplines met in a festival that creatively mixed sport and culture.
 
Congratulations to Nicole, who placed first in the women’s SUP event!
 
"I’m happy to have shared this last week in the lineup with riders from all different ocean activities, nationalities, and diverse cultures. I’m honored to have surfed with all the women who took part in this event. I hope we all emulate the Morrocan girls – who, with the help of Fetha and his group, provided surfing clinics. We will come back one day and enjoy the waves with the North African women again."
