A kiteboard is a type of board used in the sport of kiteboarding, which combines elements of surfing, windsurfing, and paragliding. It is typically made of lightweight materials and features foot straps or bindings to secure the rider's feet. The board is designed to glide over water while being propelled by a large kite that captures the wind. Kiteboarding can be practiced in various water conditions, including oceans, lakes, and rivers. Riders can perform tricks and jumps by harnessing the power of the wind, making it an exciting and dynamic sport. Safety gear, such as a helmet and impact vest, is often recommended for participants.
