kitesurfing
Harnessed wind, waves
Kitesurfing is a water sport where a rider on a small board is pulled across the surface by a large power kite.
The kite harnesses wind to generate speed and lift, allowing jumps and aerial maneuvers.
Also called kiteboarding: We went kitesurfing off the coast of Maui.
