kitesurfer
Towed water athlete
A kitesurfer is someone who practices kitesurfing—a water sport combining elements of wakeboarding, windsurfing, and paragliding.
The rider stands on a board and uses a large controllable kite to harness wind power, gliding across water and performing aerial maneuvers: Kitesurfers were out in force when the wind picked up.
