With her new film, Writer/Director Katrin Ender introduces the fun and the lifestyle around a sport that has taken the world by storm.
After just 12 short years, kitesurfing has moved into the limelight and will replace windsurfing at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016. “We all flew a kite to get kitesurfing into the Olympics and unbelievably the kite has landed in Rio!” says Sir Richard Branson, one of the IKAs Olympic Ambassadors who also recently set a new world record by kitesurfing across the English Channel.
