Kitesurfing is an Adventurous Activity for Water Sport Enthusiasts
1. Kitesurfing is an Adventurous
Activity for Water Sport Enthusiasts
By Sam Gerson MD
2. Introduction
• Sam Gerson, MD, is an experienced emergency medicine
physician who has worked at the University of California
San Diego Medical Center. An avid diver and expert in
diving medicine, Dr. Sam Gerson also has active interest
in kitesurfing. Kitesurfing is a water sport, which
employs a parachute and board to move individuals
across the water.
Unlike other watersports, kitesurfing does not rely on
waves for momentum. Instead, kitesurfing can take place
on flat bodies of water as long as sufficient wind is
present. Freestyle kitesurfers often prefer flat water since
they can more easily perform take offs and landings for
jumps in those environments.
3. Kitesurfing
• Other kitesurfers seek speed records or pursue long-
distance adventures.
Although anyone can learn kitesurfing, experienced
watersport enthusiasts like Sam Gerson, MD, may
develop skills more rapidly. In addition, individuals with
experience in surfing, wakeboarding, and kite-flying may
have a shorter learning curve. Good-quality instruction
can accelerate learning and help new kitesurfers
understand essential safety practices. Instructors also
can provide advice on kitesurfing investments to help
those who are new to the sport make the right gear
investments.
