Kiteboarding, Seaside Oregon

Take To The High Seas !

Are You New to Kiteboarding? If you’ve seen someone kitesurfing, snowkiting or landboarding and want to try Kiteboarding, then you probably have a lot of questions on how to get into the sport.

What is kiteboarding? Kiteboarding covers kiting activities done on various terrains. Kitesurfing is done in the water. If you stand on a board and use a kite to be pulled along by the wind, that's kiteboarding. With the right equipment, experience, and wind, you can kiteboard anywhere but always use extreme safety precautions. While it helps to be in good physical shape, it does not require as much upper body strength as one might think. It’s actually more about finesse than strength.
