How 2 get into wavekiting

Wavekitesurfing is the latest trend in the multi-facetted sport of kitesurfing. It’s growing rapidly in popularity and more and more kitesurfers exchange their freestyle board for a super cool waveboard, which guarantees a totally new feeling in the water and the ultimate thrill.

Pick up any kitesurf magazine these days and you’re bound to find the majority of photos being taken in waves…

I’ve dedicated my career since 2005 almost solely focused on waveriding. Personally I love the really big ones, yeah and would call myself a true ‘Big-Wave-Freak’.

Though, Wavekiting can be done in so many different conditions and it’s certainly not not only for the pro’s! Not at all, you can get into it at pretty much all levels of kitesurfing once you’re passed the beginner’s stage. A good intermediate level is certainly of advantage and if you’re in addition to that a surfer, kiting in waves will come naturally rather quickly. Plus there’s obviously a difference in having fun in some smaller beach- and reefbreaks versus ripping’ it up or pulling off some aerials in some offshore monster-swell, right! As long as you stick to your skill level, wavekiting is the greatest fun there is to be had out on the water without risking your life.
