Kitesurfing or Kiteboarding is a surface water sport that uses the wind to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or a kiteboard (similar to a wakeboard). The terms kiteboarding and kitesurfing are interchangeable. There are a number of different styles of kiteboarding, including freestyle (most common and utilises standard kite and board) or wake-style (flatter water using board with bindings) and wave-riding which is focused on big waves using a board designed for wave riding.

El kite surfing o kite surf (llamado también a veces kiteboarding, o flysurfing), es un deporte de deslizamiento que consiste en el uso de una cometa de tracción (kite, del inglés), que estira al deportista (kiter) por 4 (rara vez 2) cuerdas, dos fijas a la barra, y las 2 ó 3 restantes pasan por el centro de la barra y se sujetan al cuerpo mediante un arnés, permitiendo deslizarse sobre el agua mediante una tabla ó un esquí del tipo Wakeboard diseñado para tal efecto.

El equipo básico de kitesurf se compone de:

1. Cometa
2. Barra de dirección
3. Arnés
4. Tabla
5. 2, 4 o 5 líneas (cuerdas de sujeción a la cometa)

Se pueden practicar varias modalidades:

1. Saltos y maniobras
2. Regatas entre boyas
