kiteboarding

Towed by kite

Kiteboarding is a water sport where a rider on a small board is pulled across the surface by a large controllable kite.

The kite harnesses wind power, allowing riders to achieve high speeds, perform jumps, and execute aerial tricks.

Also called kitesurfing, though some distinguish between the two based on board type or riding style: She spent the summer learning to kiteboard off Cape Hatteras.
