Kiteboarding is an extreme sport that combines wakeboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding and gymnastics. A kiteboarder uses a board with or without foot-straps or bindings, combined with the power of a large controllable kite, to propel the rider and the board across the water. In our feature on page 13, Kira Detko describes her experiences learning how to navigate this difficult but rewarding sport.
