Welcome to Shenzhen Kitesurf, we aim at promoting kitesurfing in Shenzhen and nearby waters in safe and professional manner..
Kitesurfing, also known as kiteboarding, is widely regarded as the most interesting and exhilarating water
sports invented in this millenium. The sport involves a large controllable kite propelled by wind pulling
the kitesurfer along on water on a kiteboard (or on snow, another form of water). The sport is becoming safer
due to innovations in kite design, safety release systems, and instruction. An advanced kiter can jump some
1-10m into the air performing all conceivable tricks. Minimum wind required for kitesurfing is about 8
knots(4m/s), so there is a lot of kiteable days in the beautiful beaches along South China coasts.
Contrary to common thoughts, kitesurfing is actually easily accessible to people who can swim and in good health.
The oldest kitesurfer known is 85 and was filmed kiting in force 5 of wind. The youngest is 5. Though every body
should make sure they are in good shape as kitesurfing can be quite demanding in rough weather.
It is almost impossible and dangerous to self learn Kitesurfing. A proper course should be taken which not only
provide one with the basic concepts and techniques in safe way but also vastly shorten the learning process.
Through proper training in suitable wind and sea condition, most people can kitesurf (though downwind mostly) in 2 –3 days.
After learning, one should consider acquiring his/her own equipment: 1-2 kites, 1 board, 1 harness, and 1 impact
vest. All these costs about RMB 12,000-20,000 new and much lower second handed.
We offer Kitesurfing course, escorted kitesurfing trips, kitesurfing safari, new Blade Kites and Boards and used
kitesurfing equipment. Please feel free to browse our site and contact us for your requirements.
Happy Kiting!!
