Kitesurfing

The kitesurfing is a sport that is growing up inside the watersports world. It's impressive for its huge jumps, its powerful tricks and its danger. Kitesurfing is a sport that was invented in "Nouvelle Calédonie", close to Australia. There a man thought that if kids used little kites for playing and with the strong winds they got blown away, he could use even bigger kites for pulling of his boat instead of rowing.
From that crazy experiment kitesurfing appeared. First it was used with surf boards for catching big waves, but later on, a new discipline appeared: the freestyle. At the beggining it was basically focused on huge jumps, board grabs and rotations. Then it evolved to the new school style that was completely amazing. From jumping big obstacles to powerful air manouvers like inverts or things like that. After a few years, the security increased and a new kind of style began to appear in the young crazy people. Tecnically it's not difficult, but you need balls to do this. This style is nmed "King of the air" and consists in jumping higher than your opponents. I'll post some vids about big air, new school and old school:
