Kitesurfing

Today i am going to introduce an exciting extreme sport - Kitesurfing!! So, what is kitesurfing? Many of us may first heard of this word. Simply speaking, kitesurfing is a man standing on the surfboard with a kite hanging on his shoulder.

Although it is propelled by wind, out of surprise, it can reach a really high rate of speed!! The highest rate of speed nowadays is made by Rob Douglas, up to 93.60 km/h !!

In addition to enjoying the excitement of the extremely high speed, we can also fly!! It is hard to understand, isn't it? Without doubt, "flying" is the biggest attraction of this sport. Before jumping, the surfer builds up tension by strongly edging the board. Then the kite is flown quickly, the board lift and be "released", and the rider becomes airborne!!
This picture shows the whole process of  "flying".
Last but not least, this sport is highly dangerous, and many people get hurt or even die when doing it.......

Let's enjoy this exciting sport!!
