Question

Kitesurfing as a water sport began in the 1980s, but didn’t get popular until the end of last century. It is also known as kiteboarding, and in some European countries as flysurfing. Kitesurfing works through wind power (動(dòng)力) by using a large kite to pull a rider on the water at high speed.

At first, kitesurfing was a difficult and dangerous sport. Now it is becoming easier and safer because of the safer kite design. For an able and strong person, kitesurfing can be a very fun, exciting sport, just like skating on the water with a feeling of flying. It has become more and more popular.
