Kitesurfing is a a combination of surfing, wakeboarding, windsurfing, snowboarding and paragliding. Kitesurfers ride boards that are propelled across the water using the power of a large kite. Some kiters ride 20 feet in the air soaring above the water.

Montrose Avenue Beach (recently listed as one of the top 10 kitesurfing beaches in the nation) is the best place to see kitesurfing up close in the City of Chicago, especially when the wind blows from the north and the big waves crash along the lakefront.
