Kite-sit and kitesurfing – have a lot in common, mainly that the two are practiced with a tow from a kite, but at the same time the two styles are also both very different.

Differences between buying a kitesurfing or kite-sit:

The Material:

Both forms use kitesurfing kites, but kite-sit can also be practiced with a kite of a smaller size.

In kitesurfing a board is used, it has little weight and is easy to carry.

In kite-sit a kite-sit boat is used, it is like a mini catamaran minimalist and consists of 2 floats a saddle and a footrest, it is designed for easy transport, assembly and disassembly.

In this case the kitesurfing is much more portable than the kite-sit.

Functionality:

The kite-sit is much more versatile than the kitesurfing.

Kitesurfing is practiced standing and does not float by itself, hence it requires a certain speed and navigation, making it a sport for lovers of speed and tension.

By contrast kite-sit can be practiced without reaching very high speeds and you can even stand still, making it a practical sport for the whole family, people can surf quietly and just relax or if you want you also can seek out speed and action like in kitesurfing.

Meteorology:

Another advantage of kite-sit, is that if you come across a day where there is little wind, you can always keep the kite and surf with a paddle.

As we can see, they are similar sports, but with their differences, so we recommend people buy kitesurfing and kite-sit, as their differences make them fully complementary anyone who practices kitesurfing or kite-sit can can practice the two styles perfectly, considering that it is more easy to adapt to kite-sit, because it requires less skill than to balance standing on a board.

Kite-sit can be bought in the same shops as you visit to buy kitesurfing.
