Kite Boarding

A power kite or traction kite is a large kite designed to provide significant pull to the user. They come in three main forms: foils, leading edge inflatable and supported leading edge. There are several different control systems used with these kites, which have two to five lines and a bar or handles.
Power kites are generally used in conjunction with a vehicle or board, such as in:
* kitesurfing on a kiteboard
* kite buggying on a purpose-built 3-wheeled cart
* kite landboarding on an all-terrain/land board
* kite skating on all-terrain roller skates
* snow kiting on skis or snowboards
Power kites range in size from 1.5 m2 up to 50 m2. All kites are made for specific purposes: some for water, land, power or manoeuvrability.
