If you are interested in the sport of kiteboarding, information is easy to obtain. There are large numbers of websites, some quite elaborate, to consult. A good one to start with is www.kitesurfingschool.org.

The sport has its dedicated magazines. Kiteboarding, Kite World, The Kiteboarder, and Kiteboarder (Australia) are English-language titles.

Videos on the Web and as commercial disks have been very influential in guiding the sport, presenting what’s radical, what’s cool.

He got down safely.
