Why Choose Elite Watersports for Kiteboarding Lessons in St. Petersburg FL

Kiteboarding is one of the most exhilarating water sports in the world, if not one of the most exhilarating sports in general. Even beginner kiteboarders can ride at speeds between 15 and 25 mph. An intermediate level kiteboarder can ride in higher wind speeds and start boosting in the air. Professional racers can even commonly attain speeds of 50 mph and up to near 60 mph. Beginner riders can pop off the water at heights of up to ten feet and professionals have been known to get upwards of nearly 100 feet. Even at 15 mph and 10 feet of altitude it feels like you can literally fly out there on the water. That is what makes kiteboarding so fun and thrilling unlike anything else you can experience.
