Kitesurfing and Windsurfing on inland lakes is challenging -- maybe even more challenging that surfing on the ocean. The winds are unsteady and many obstacles exist. The wind on this day was rough and many obstacles existed.

Kitesurfing flying using a power kite and surfboard is a new sport. The video shows good close-up views of flying and jumping. Kitesurfing to surfers can make the Midwest seem like the California coast. Kitesurfers use power kites attached to a harness to glide through the water and leap, jump, and fly above it. The current speed record is 77 kilometers per hour.
The kitesurfer will fly, jump, turn, surf upwind, and crash. Note also the many kinds of kites.

Windsurfing or windsailing is a surface water sport that uses a windsurf board, or sailboard. It can be done at high speeds and a windsurfer holds the world speed record for sailing craft. Windsurfers can perform inverted loops, jumps, spinning maneuvers, and many freestyle moves. They can ride the world's largest waves.
The surfers will jump, sail, steer, turn, travel both upwind and down wind, turn downwind at speed, and reverse course.
