Considered an action sport, kiteboarding in which people are pulled by a large steerable kite having an harness tied around their bodies, is seeing numerous sports buffs engaging in it. This is because it is easier to learn compared to other water or wind sports, except for wakeboarding. The spurt in interest has spawned the kiteboarding equipment market. Some of the kiteboarding equipment include lines, kites, a device to control the kites, life jacket, harness, wetsuit, water suit, fins, leash, straps or bindings, and helmet. Such safety equipment is meant to make the job of the kiteboarder easy.
