If you try kitesurfing once, you will remember the experience all your life. This is the type of sport that increases the adrenaline levels. The feeling of ruling the water makes you want more, and this is why so many people keep practicing it after they tried it once. Kitesurfing is a sport suited for everyone who wants to try something adventurous. Moreover, the biggest advantages is that you will have the opportunity to visit the most breath-taking destinations around the world. If you want to have an amazing experience but you do not know what this sport implies, then you should know that is similar to surfing and wakeboarding. The difference is that you have more freedom and you have to use a directional board or a bi-directional kiteboard, which looks similar to the one for surf, but does not have a power-generating device. This sport offers you the opportunity to meet people that share the same hobbies as you do, and to spend quality time. Many people who have tried it once are now having kitesurfing holidays, because it is the perfect way to get away from daily stress.

The ones that live close to sea have a great advantage because they can practice it every time they want, but if you live in a crowded town, far away from the ocean or the sea, you have the possibility to spend your holidays in a place like Turkey, where are many spots where you can kitesurf. If you want to practice it in your holiday, you will need to buy your equipment from a specialised centre, and to find a suitable way to transport it. You have to know that you do not need more than one board, and you can place your kites over your shoulders, or in a bag. This sport is hassle-free. You do not need to spend a fortune on equipment, so if you save money during the year you can even go kitesurfing in Turkey, for a week or two. If you practice kiteboarding only in your holidays you will not have to replace the kite for some years, but if you do it every weekend, you might need to buy a new one more quickly.

If you have never tried kitesurfing before, and you want to have a first lesson, you can try it while on holiday. You will easily find a kitesurf centre, because they are located close to the beach, in area where the wind is constantly blowing. During your first lessons, you will spend some time with your kitesurf coach on the beach, because you have to learn how to handle the kite. After that, you will have some sessions of body drag through the water, and when he considers that you are ready you can try the board. After around 9 sessions, you can continue practicing it without supervision. After you kitesurf for 20 sessions, you can ride with the technique and speed of a professional.
