O\u00a0Kitesurfing<\/strong>\u00a0or Kite is a mixture of windsurfing, surfing and wakeboarding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's a water sport that uses a kite and a board with a footrest. The aim is to \u201cfly\u201d and glide across the water, pulled by the kite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sport is very recent and is becoming more popular every day in Brazil and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The equipment for kitesurfing is: Kite + Trapeze (belt) + bar and board<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Board -<\/strong> It varies according to the athlete's style. They can be directional or bidirectional, even wakeboarding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Kite -<\/strong> The main piece of equipment is the kite. It's made from the same material as a parachute and is shaped like an arched wing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bars and lines -<\/strong> with the bar, the athlete controls direction and speed. It is 90 cm long and has a safety system. The lines measure from 12 to 24 meters. They connect the kite to the surfer and have functions such as control, flight and braking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Trapeze -\u00a0<\/strong>is the belt that connects the practitioner to the kite.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The kite is attached to a belt around the athlete's waist and he stands on the board on the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From there, the wind propels the kite, making the board glide over the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The sportsman has a control bar with which he can choose his path and perform incredible jumps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Nowadays, there are foil boards.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Kite history<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Kitesurfing was created in 1985 by two Frenchmen: Bruno and Dominique Legaignoux. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The name of the sport is a combination of the English words: kite, which means kite, and surf, which means to glide over water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After that, the sport became a hit all over the world and is widely practiced on beaches and lagoons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Like surfing, kitesurfing also uses a board, but it also uses a kite that is attached to the waist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The best season for kitesurfing is spring (September, October and November). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Suitable places for kitesurfing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The location and strategic position of Florian\u00f3polis allows kitesurfing to be practiced in various places<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The truth is that the best place to start practicing and improving is at Lagoa da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The lagoon is a year-round playground for windsurfers, sailors, kayakers and, of course, kitesurfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The site also caters for the advanced public who want tranquillity and to enjoy the natural scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5 km from Lagoa da Concei\u00e7\u00e3o<\/strong>, There are two beaches for practicing. Mole Beach<\/strong>, Because it's rough\/open sea, the demands are higher on the athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And the Barra da Lagoa<\/strong>, This is a good point for those who want to improve their Kitewave practice and is sometimes less aggressive than the Mole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In turn, the Campeche beach <\/strong>which is also a thick sea with high salinity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This is the beach where the Windsurfing and Kitesurfing Festival takes place, the idea of which is to include Campeche in the calendar of the world kite circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In addition, in the north of the island we recommend the beaches of Daniela, Santinho, Jurer\u00ea, Cachoeira and Ingleses<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
