Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s, but didn’t get popular until the end of last century. It is also known as kiteboarding, and in some European countries as flysurfing. Kitesurfing works through wind power by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed.

At first, kitesurfing was a difficult and dangerous sport. Now it is becoming easier and safer because of the safer kite design. For an able and strong person, kitesurfing can be very fun, extremely exciting sport, just like skating on the water with a feeling of flying. It has become more and more popular.

Compared with other water sports, kitesurfing is easier to learn. A beginner can understand how to operate (操控) the kite with 5---10 hours of training. And anybody aged from 13 to 65 can learn. It’s not expensive to get the equipment (设备) for kitesurfing, which costs $2,500. The price of the training lessons is from $200 to $500 for two or three hours.
