kiteboarders
Sail-harnessed wave riders
Kiteboarders are people who kiteboard—riding a small board across water while being pulled by a large controllable kite.
The sport combines elements of wakeboarding, windsurfing, and paragliding.
Kiteboarders harness wind power to achieve speed, height, and acrobatic maneuvers: The beach was crowded with kiteboarders catching the afternoon breeze.
