Tropical
Kite Surfing
If you have every seen kite surfing you know
that is the most ultimate water sport that anyone can do
or try. You can see our kite
surfing photos if you have never seen this sport before.
Imagine skimming across the water and flying 40 feet into the air while doing
three back flips and three 360 degree rotations then landing on the water and
doing it again....
That is Kite surfing for you!
Kite surfing vacations are
becoming very popular as well. You can travel to your destination
of choice and choose the riding conditions that you prefer
to ride in. As you may already know -- we live in Anguilla
because you can't beat Anguilla Kitesurfing conditions.
For those of you who may not know how to kitesurf you can learn
how to kitesurf by taking lessons. Kite
surfing lessons are available all over the world at certified
kite schools.
We have been fortunate enough to develop a wonderful relationship
with kite schools in Anguilla and Saint Martin. So, if you
would like to learn
how to kitesurf,
you have found the perfect spot.
The sport is becoming safer due to innovations in kite design,
safety release systems, and instruction. Many riding styles
have evolved to suit different types of riders and conditions,
such as wake style, wave riding, freestyle, jumping, and
cruising. Kite surfing competitions are
also being held around the world as the sport continues to
get more and more competitive. We are sure we will see this
sport in the summer Olympics eventually :)
The sport is still in its infancy, but is rapidly growing
in popularity. In 2006, the number of kitesurfers has been
estimated at around 150,000 to 200,000 riders and growing
rapidly.
Tropical Paradise continues to be a huge Kite Surfing supporter
and we will continue to help grow this wonderful and free
sport.
