Whatever the name, it’s about harnessing the power of the wind to pull a board over the water with a kite.
In fact kitesurfing is a new sport that takes advantage of the forces of nature in a different way.
A traction kite can reach high speeds and propel the kitesurfer over the water as if it were an engine. A mix of Surfing, Windsurfing and Wakeboarding….

Surfers will love kitesurfing on low wave days.
Windsurfers will have a light and more fun option for low wind days and paraglider pilots on high wind days.
Wakeboarders will have an alternative when the wind comes in.
Learning kitesurfing is not very simple. You need a lot of space, water and wind, the ability to swim and a lot of calm, as well as the right equipment. Safety is the most important item in this sport, you must follow all the safety rules.
Imagine being able to glide over the sea (or lagoon, river, etc.) using only the force of the wind… take a ride to another beach… do jumps and pirouettes in the air, maneuvers that mix windsurfing loops with wakeboarding flips, curves dug like surfing bottom-turns.
The kite can also be used to pull a special cart, skates, snowboard, snow ski and whatever else is invented.
All this is what happens in kitesurfing, this new sport that does not pollute or make noise!!!
Trancoso was one of the first places where this sport began to be practiced. The Swiss David Varilek brought the first kite in 1999.
