kiteboarder
Towed wave rider
A kiteboarder is someone who rides a small board across water while being pulled by a large controllable kite.
The sport combines elements of wakeboarding, windsurfing, and paragliding, requiring practitioners to harness wind power while maintaining balance on choppy surfaces.
Kiteboarders can achieve impressive speeds and perform aerial tricks by manipulating the kite's position.
The kiteboarders were out in force once the wind picked up.
