Do you want to learn how to kiteboard? Are you already an advanced kiteboarder? Are you a windsurfer that hasn't made the switch yet?
Learn kitesurfing, all the way from the basics to advanced maneuvers with 'Kiteboard' !!!
Kiteboarding (Kitesurfing) is taking the world by storm, it is the most extreme board sport ever invented and provides the greatest adrenaline rush possible. However, it can be incredibly dangerous. A giant kite, up to 20 meters, pulls the kiteboarder while they ride on a small board travelling up to 50 miles per hour and jumping over 100 feet into the air! There is truly no other sport like kiteboarding.
Kiteboard features 20 real world class kitesurfing locations, including:
- Cabarete, Dominican Republic
- Chicago, Illinois
- Camber Sands, England
- Pattaya, Thailand
- Paracura, Brazil
- Cairo, Egypt
- Ishigaki, Japan
- Cape Town, South Africa
- Isle of Capri, Italy
- Auckland, New Zealand
- Avellanas, Costa Rica
- San Fransisco, California
- Key West, Florida
- Hood River, Oregon
- Monte Carlo, Monaco
- Nuuk, Greenland
- Hatteras, North Carolina
- Perth, Australia
- Teahupoo, Tahiti

More levels and moves will come with each update!
Kiteboard features:
* High resolution OpenGL 3D graphics
* MP3 music player controls - play your own songs while you ride!
* Full kiteboard and kitesurf training levels
* Many different kiteboard jump moves and combinations
* Hidden features and missions!
* Multiple different kite designs
Just like real kiteboarding, you can depower the kite, boost huge airs, unhook from the chicken loop, edge the board hard, ride freestyle, ride nuking winds, and of course... send the kite into the power zone!
Feel the power of nature by harnessing the wind and experiencing true happiness with 'Kiteboard' !!!
***** Warning *****
Power kites can be dangerous. Because of strong forces that can be generated by sudden wind gusts, people can be lofted, carried off, dashed against water, buildings, terrain or power lines, resulting in what's termed a "kitemare".
Most kiteboarding fatalities are the result of being lofted or dragged out of control, resulting in a collision with hard objects including sand. It is possible to be seriously injured simply by hitting the water surface at speed or from a height.
Jumping and being airborne at inappropriate places (such as shallow water or near fixed or floating objects) can be hazardous. Marine hazards include sharks, jellyfish, sea otters, dolphins, and even crocodiles, depending on the location.
Collisions with wind surfers, other kite boarders or water craft are hazards, particularly at busy locations.

Fantastic application & very real life!!
Haggerty
This game makes you feel just like you're kiteboarding! I've been kiteboarding for about 7 years now, so I know what it feels like to get the rush. This game will give me the ability to get the ultimate rush even when the wind is down. A+++ to the developer team!
I am a real kiteboarder

This is by far the best kitesurfing game I have ever played. It is as realistic as an app can be to simulate kiteboarding. The levels with boats and waves are my favorite. I love kiting at full speed and boosting huge airs haha. I'm looking forward to future updates!
Lacking in many areas

Unfortunately this promising App needs several tweeks & refinements No help area or instructions No feedback You are on your own, muck like kiteboarding today!
Won't Install on iPod Touch

This may be a fantastic app -- it certainly looks like it -- but it will not install on my iPod Touch.
This ap Rocks

This game is awesome! There should be away to relaunch your kite instead of having to restart every time. also there should be a mode to play w/o the timer. also there should be kite loops! But it is as close to kiting as my iPhone can get! Also there should be some way of knowing how many points it takes to advance...
Use demo.

Use demo, don't give these guys your $ until you know how to beat the 4th training session for sure, otherwise you can't unlock the 20 locations they have or so. I don't know what they want done in 4th training session to unlock rest of game, I land 7 to 10 tricks in 28 secs and it's never good enough.
4th Training Level
Fouad Traveller
Can't get passed 4th level even with all the tricks completed... Has anyone been able to pass 4th training level ?
Great product!!!

It's fun and and as a kiteboarder I can tell you it's very realistic . As a kiteboarding instructor every student of mine will use it to visualize what they have to do with the kite to accomplish a water start . Well worth the investment....
