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 of your local boarders are normally quite friendly and approachable for hints and tips.
