Kiteboarding caught interest in Asia around 2004, although it was invented in Hawaii in the late 90s. It's an amizing sport allowing you to jump up to 5 floors (don’t try to do that in your first lesson though :)). The exhilaration of skimming across the water’s surface can quickly become addictive, especially once manoeuvres such as turning and jumping are mastered.
