Kite Surfing after growing its popularity has turned out to be the most recent passion in extreme sports. The idea — making use of a kite for enhancing speed along with gravitation pull for the surfer appears to be an exhilarating challenge.
This art of Kite Surfing came into existence during 13th Century when Chinese used it as an easy mode of transportation. Kite Sailing was known to be the medium, which uses the wind as an aid to control the momentum as well as energy of kite mobilizing their canoes across the water. The earliest evidenced history of Kite Surfing date past in the beginning of 12th Century.
In the beginning of 1800’s George Pocock takes the basic design of a kite to unexpected levels.
