Kite Boarding – Nitinaht, BC
Kite-boarding is a mixture between windsurfing, surfing and wakeboarding. Compared to windsurfing and surfing, kite-boarding is a relatively easy sport to learn. Most students are able to get up on their board after two or three lessons from a certified kite-boarding instructor, and with a bit of practice you can do your first jump in a few days. Not sure what Kite-boarding is? Check out this video which includes our instructor.
