Kite Landboarding is the art of being pulled along on a special mountainboard by a high powered kite.
Kite landboarding also known as kiteboarding, land kiteboarding or flyboarding is a fast growing extreme sport. With these beasts, riders can reach awesome speeds and pull huge airs.
Knowledge of how to use a power kite is essential before even attempting this extreme sport for your safety and for the safety of others.
Once you have learned how to use a power kite and had some experience with different wind conditions, you should be ready to get on your board but, if you’re still a bit sketched out about it, most local boarders are quite friendly and approachable for hints and tips.
