Kite boards - they’re a familiar sight on many beaches, tearing the water at phenomenal speeds. They are often taking several feet into the air, usually with some fit, young person in a wetsuit clinging on dear life. Kite sailing started to develop as a sport in the 1980s, but it really took with the advent of a new type of inflatable kite in the late 1990s. It’s an exhilarating sport and ideal for long summer afternoons on the beach. But as going out to sea, let alone crossing an open stretch of ocean, forget it.
