A huge thanks to Ange Bayc and Ryan Larraman who talked to us about their sports kite surfing and paragliding. Both sports are very different, however they have some similar things.

 This venn diagram tells us about both sports. The green part is the things that are the same with both kite surfing and paragliding.

Ange brought her kite along to show us what equipment is used for kite surfing. Kite surfers can't go towards the wind otherwise it will push them back. Kite surfers travel in zig zag patterns to get out into the water.

Jamie is wearing the safety harness that is attached to the kite when kite surfing.

Paragligers jump off hills and mountains. When Ryan sees a bird moving up he travels to it because they are usually in a thermal. This means the hot air is rising up and this will help Ryan to travel up.
