Kitesurfing gets removed from the Olympics

Kiteboarding has always been a very wide open water sport with many disiplines and racing is just a small sliver of our whole sport. Racing does offer some very cool new avenues for kiteboarders to go and get out on the water. Check out the video below to see how much fun you really can have riding.
