It is a recent variation of surf. You get pulled by a kite flying in the sky and working as a propeller for the surf. It is a very dynamic and adrenaline discipline. The only thing that changes it the dimension of the kite, adapting to wind conditions. Close to the Fruit & Sspice Wellness Resort there is Paje beach which is perfect for kitesurfing.
Fishing
