Kitesurfing gets removed from the Olympics

In a sad day for kiteboarding the ISAF has voted to take kiteboarding out of the Olympics.  Though this is not great news it really doesn't change our sport very much.

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.
