When you go kitesurfing, you use a kite to harness the power of the wind while you're strapped to a board that moves you across the water. This sport is taking the UK by storm right now. In the late 1990s, only a few people did it, but now there are more than 7,000 of them.
For light wind summer days in the UK, a kitesurfer needs a kite that is anywhere from 6m squared to 18m squared. For the cold North Sea, they will also need a good 5mm x 3mm wetsuit. To fly the kite, you need a kiteboard, a bar, and a set of lines.
Most kitesurfers start out with only one kite, but as they get better, they usually add more to their quiver so they can handle a wide range of wind conditions.
You can ride the waves or make big jumps when the water is flat. You can go for a ride or try out the newest freestyle moves. Now, there are many ways to go about kitesurfing.
This amazing sport is taught by NEKitesurfing in Northumberland, which is in the North East of England. The area has beautiful beaches with white sand and few people, making it a great place to learn how to kitesurf. Beadnell Bay, Budle Bay, Druridge Bay, and the beautiful Bamburgh beach with Bamburgh castle in the background are some of the most popular places.
