Michigan Kiteboarding
Extreme Fun!
Michigan kiteboarding is quickly becoming the #1 water sport along the beaches. Snow kiteboarding is growing in popularity, especially in the Grand Traverse Bay area. Kiteboarding is a great sport you can enjoy year-round.
One of the best things about kiteboarding is that it's a "green" water sport. Once you have the equipment you can go to the beach and enjoy a water sport that doesn't require a boat or uses any gas. Sweet!
Who needs a snowmobile in the winter when you can fly along the Michigan lakes on a kiteboard.
It is an affordable sport with kites and boards both starting in price at the $400 range. Kite costs and sizes are determined by rider skill levels and conditions.
How I would give anything to try this sport but I'm ... to old and to out of shape. I have watched from shore and it amazes me at the skill level most of these kitboarders display. The speeds they reach while flying through the air really makes me wish I was about thirty years younger.
Whether you are a beginner or seasoned kiteboarder in Michigan - you want to be safe. This is not a sport you try until you have had some training. Take the time to learn and use the proper equipment.
