Kite Zone School - Kitesurf school - Mountainboard

The Powerkite / Landkite

This sport consists of being towed by a kite wing or a kite on different land surfaces, sand, grass, asphalt, thanks to gear fitted with wheels:
- The buggy (kite buggy) or kite chariot made its appearance in the 80s
- The mountainboard (or MTB) is a device derived from skateboarding, first used to descend the ski slopes in the summer, now used with a kite or a kitesurf kite

The mountainbord can be used as an educational means of learning by our kitesurf school before getting into the water, because of the similarity of the two sports.
