Kitesufing is a complex, but rewarding sport. There really is nothing like it. It involves

a combination of several sport skills, including surfing, wakeboarding and kiteflying. In

2001, the Chicago area was completely new to kiteboarding. When we at Chicago Kitesurfing

go out to Montrose or Michigan City to kitesurf, we are usually swarmed by jetskiers,

windsurfers and others asking questions about what this sport is, how much it costs to get

started, etc. Below are some common questions we hear a lot, listed with answers to give

you the general basics of what it takes to get into kitesurfing, and why you should

consider taking lessons from Chicago Kitesurfing.

If you already read this page, and are ready to start shopping for kites, check out the

Buying Your First Kite page. If you already know this stuff and just need more gear, check

out the Chicago Kiteboarding Forum for deals on used gear to buy from local riders. If you

already have a kite, and you're looking for a more detailed explanation of flying the kite

and the wind window, you should check out our Kite Dynamics page for some beginner

information on what to expect when flying and landing your kite.

Q: What is kiteboarding?

A: Kiteboarding is similar to wakeboarding or surfing, but with more freedom. You can use a

directional board, much like a surfboard, or a bi-directional kiteboard similar to a

wakeboard to surf in the open water, without any power generating devices. You use a

"traction" kite to generate the pull needed to pull you over land, snow, or water and hold

your edge. Kitesufing allows you to surf in, over, and out of waves, to boost huge air

(20-30 feet or more) off the water pulling tricks and go upwind, much like windsurfing, all

while using a kite.

Q: How much does it cost to start kitesurfing?

A: You can get started by investing anywhere from $1000 to $3000, depending on the quality

and newness of gear you choose. A kite, board, harness, bar and lines are all thatýs truly

needed (and wind), but you may require a life-vest (PFD), wetsuit, booties, gloves, hood, a

couple kites for varying conditions, etc. There are entry-level packages available, and now

that the sport is getting more popular, kitesurfers are starting to sell their used gear

on-line for less than new equipment. Chicago Kitesurfing hosts a popular kiteboarding forum

for finding used gear and discussing questions with active kiteboarders.

Q: What do I need to kitesurf?

A: You will need a kitesurfing traction kite, kitesurf board, kite control device (bar and

lines), harness, a safety system, and any other accessories such as wetsuit, booties,

lifejacket, helmet.
