Extractions: DISCUSSION FORUMS WHAT IS KITEBOARDING? Kiteboarding is the best of the boardsports combined. It gives the rider the tranquility and power of surfing a wave, the edging and handle-control associated with wakeboarding, the lift and fluidity of the halfpipe, the adrenal-pumping technical moves of motorcross all bound together with the intense drive of an alpine downhill. Kiteboarding consists of a Foil or Leading Edge Inflatable (L.E.I.) kite, a control bar with lines and power control, and a board with pads and straps. Kiteboarders are attached to the kite via a waist harness to assist in controlling the power of the kite. Riders use a control bar, which hooks into the harness, to steer the kite. The kite can either have two or four 20-27 meter lines that are attached to the control bar. Kite sizes range from 5-19 meters. In kiteboarding, there is little gravity-intensive, jarring crashes associated with windsurfing and wakeboarding. Through good kite control skills, a kiteboarder can defy gravity. The power to pull a rider across the water is generated by the kite. The lift is generated by wind strength and kite control. The stronger the wind, the more power and lift the kite will have. Kiteboarders can jump 25+ feet in the air, land technical grabs and maneuvers, and still come down smooth and soft onto the water.

THE GORGE GAMES The sport of kiteboarding originated in the Gorge back in the mid80s. Cory Roeseler and his Dad started water skiing behind a kite with a boom and a reel http://www.gorgegames.com/sp_kite.cfm
Extractions: Today the kites have an inflatable foil shape and the boards are close cousins to wakeboards or surfboards with straps. The air has gotten bigger. The tricks more intense. And it just keeps getting better and better to watch. The Gorge Games Kiteboarding event continues to be on the leading edge as race director Aaron Sales sets the stage for some new innovative kiting competition.
