Kite boarding is a relatively new adventure sport that is growing in popularity. Locations throughout the Caribbean allow traveler to try kite boarding. Test the waters and kite board on your next Caribbean vacation.

Explanation
Kite boarding is like a cross between surfing and parasailing. The participant rides a board and is propelled across the seas by a kite. The board rider controls the kite to pull him or herself over the waves.

What to Expect
Since most people have not kite boarded or kite surfed before, a introductory lesson is offered. Participants get instructed on controlling the kite and tips to maintain board balance. Safety instruction is a must and a big aspect of beginning kite boarding.

The Professional Air Sport Association (PASA) teaches and promotes the sport. PASA certifies instructors and schools and offers insurance to qualified teaching outlets.
