Kitesurfing: A gliding sport in which a surfboard is used, pulled by a parachute that is attached to the body of the person by a harness. It is necessary that those who wish to practice it have a minimum experience using a surfboard or even a ski.

On the other hand, it has different modalities, such as the ”freestyle” focused on jumps and maneuvers, the ”race” in which races between buoys and the well-known surf are carried out.
