KITEBOARDING BECOMING OLYMPIC SPORT

Recently, kiteboarding, our beloved (extreme) sport, has become an OLYMPIC status!

As from 2016, when the olympics will be held in Brazil!, kiteboarding will be a formal Olympic sport, instead of former, now dismissed Olympic windsurfing.

It was already in the air for quite some time: some pro- kiteboarders had already been lobbying for quite some time to have our sport approved and now, it finally happened!

Kiteboarding, far more challenging and exciting then windsurfing, is simply winning territory everywhere worldwide, so the decision of the Olympic committee is in line with that.

The committee, that took this decision May 2012, wants to give the Olympics a boost direction more excitement and for sure, with Kiteboarding now as Olympic sport, this is what will happen.
