Kiteboarding is a surface water sport combining aspects of wakeboarding, snowboarding, windsurfing, surfing, paragliding, skateboarding and gymnastics into one extreme sport. A kiteboarder harnesses the power of the wind with a large controllable power kite to be propelled across the water on a kiteboard similar to a wakeboard or a small surfboard, with or without footstraps or bindings.
Kitesurfing is a style of kiteboarding specific to wave riding, which uses standard surfboards or boards shaped specifically for the purpose.
Defi Kite Gruissan:
255 riders from all over France and other countries from four other continents gathered in Gruissan on 19th-21st May for the 5th annual Defi Kites contents. The 2017 event had fantastic conditions which allowed kiteboarders to sail 140 kilometers over a period of two days. How crazy is it to see that many kites?
Nicolas Parlier raced to victory at the 2017 Défi Kite, in Gruissan, France.
The Tramontane wind didn't let the competitors down and allowed 255 kiteboarders to complete five races. Riders aged 14-72 sailed 140 kilometers before champions were announced and crowned.

The event got underway under spectacular weather conditions, and the colored kites invaded the blue skies of Gruissan. Foils are finally taking over, but there were a lot of spectacular crashes.

The world's fastest riders raced alongside a large fleet of amateurs. Axel Mazella and Nicolas Parlier, two former winners of the Défi Kite, battled head-to-head at an average speed of 30 knots, but in the end, it was Parlier who crossed the finish line first.

He won three of the five races, while Axel took two bullets. It couldn't have been a tighter clash.

The fifth edition of the Défi Kite also saw Elsa Bories winning the women's division, and placing 23rd in the overall rankings. Victor Bachichet and Fleur Chalot conquered the junior category.
