"Kitesurf-Camp on Rhodes Island" a Greece Travel Page by roli82

Wow, I didn't expect it to be so much fun!

Kitesurfing: a kite, a bar, a board, that's all you need. Try doing some body-drags first when you start learning. That's just kitesurfing without a board, let you drag from the kite, it's a wonderful feeling. That's when you feel the power of the kite for the first time.
Using the board requires some more excercising, it's not that easy to stay on the board. You probably cannot prevent swallowing some gulps of the salty water, since you will overturn quite often.
But in time, you find the right balance and you like it more & more :-)
Jumping would be the next step, I haven't come to that though...

Watch this short movie and feel the power of kites...
