Description
KiteBoarding 1. A group of kitesurfers off Long Beach, California, USA. The San Pedro/Long Beach breakwater appears in the background. On this afternoon, the haze was beginning to roll in.
Kiteboarding is an action sport combining aspects of wakeboarding, snowboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding, skateboarding and sailing into one extreme sport. A kiteboarder harnesses the power of the wind with a large controllable power kite to be propelled across the water, land, or snow. On water, a kiteboard, similar to a wakeboard or a small surfboard, with or without footstraps or bindings, is used. Kitesurfing is a style of kiteboarding specific to wave riding, which uses standard surfboards or boards shaped specifically for the purpose.
I spent an afternoon at a beach in Long Beach, CA recently... It is Rosie's Dog Beach with lots and lots of activity.... dogs on the beach, in the water, humans too.... as well as Volleyball, boxing and kids playing in the surf. On the water were kite boarders, sailboats, power boats, the Long Beach Oil Island, freighters, barges, and the Los Alamitos Pier and the Long Beach shipyard in the background.
