Kite surfing is associated with thrills, and it brings a great number of fans to beaches across the world, but before you can set your feet in the water, you will need to know how to surf. If you have surfed or have sail-surfed before, you have an immediate advantage in understanding how to maneuver your board. However, in kite surfing, your feet are attached to the board, and your arms and hands are the only thing holding you to the kite.
