Learn to kitesurf Greece, Paros
By Elizabeth Kneeds

In the 1800s George Pocock used kites of increased size to propel carts on land and ships on the water, using a 4-line control system - the same system in common use today. Both carts and boats were able to turn and sail upwind. The kites could be flown for sustained periods.[3] The intention was to establish kitepower as an alternative to horsepower, partly to avoid the hated `horse tax` that was levied at that time. In 1903, aviation pioneer Samuel Cody developed `man-lifting kites` Kitesurf Greece and succeeded in crossing the English channel in a small collapsible canvas boat powered by a kite[5]

In the late 1970s the development of Kevlar then Spectra flying lines and more controllable kites with improved efficiency contributed to practical kite traction. In 1978, Ian Day`s `FlexiFoil` kite-powered Tornado catamaran exceeded 40 km/h.

Through the 1980s there were sporadic and occasionally successful attempts to combine kites with canoes, ice skates, snow skis, water skis and roller skates.

Through the 70s and early 80s Dieter Strasilla from Germany developed parachute-skiing and later perfected a kiteskiing system using self made paragliders and a ball-socket swivel allowing the pilot to kitesail upwind and uphill but also to take off into the air at will. Strasilla and his friend Andrea Kuhn/Switzerland used this invention also in combination with surfboards and Skurfs, grasskies and selfmade buggies. One of his patents describes 1979 the first time an inflatable kite design for kitesurfing.

Two brothers, Bruno Legaignoux and Dominique Legaignoux, from the Atlantic coast of France, developed some kite designs for kitesurfing in the late 1970s early 1980s and patented a inflatable kite design in November 1984, which has since been used by many companies to develop their own products.

In 1990, practical kite buggying was pioneered by Peter Lynn at Argyle Park in Ashburton, New Zealand. Lynn coupled a three-wheeled buggy with a forerunner of the modern parafoil kite. Kite buggying proved to be very popular worldwide, with over 14,000 buggies sold up to 1999.

The development of modern day kitesurfing by the Roeselers in the USA and the Legaignoux in France carried on in parallel to buggying. Bill Roeseler, a Boeing aerodynamicist, and his son Corey Roeseler patented the `KiteSki` system which consisted of water skis powered by a two line delta style kite controlled via a bar mounted combined winch/brake. The KiteSki was commercially available in 1994. The kite had a rudimentary water Kitesurf Greece launch capability and could go upwind. In 1995, Corey Roeseler visited Peter Lynn at New Zealand`s Lake Clearwater in the Ashburton Alpine Lakes area, demonstrating speed, balance and upwind angle on his `ski`. In the late 1990s, Corey`s ski evolved to a single board similar to a surfboard.[4]

In 1996 Laird Hamilton and Manu Bertin were instrumental in demonstrating and popularising kitesurfing Kitesurf Greece off the Hawaiian coast of Maui.
