Welcome to KiteSurf Ohio!

Locations around Ohio for KiteSurfing are limited by wind and size, let's work together to make sure we can enjoy this sport for years to come. We would like to organize dialogue with the ODNR about safety procedures and rules of the road. Sail vessels have the right of way over motorized watercraft. Ohio Water Law addresses the use of wakeboards only behind motorized watercraft. With this unique combination of Wakeboard and Kite a new breed of watercraft has been created. Faster and potentially more maneuverable than traditional sailboats, although still subject to changes in wind conditions. Updates to the Ohio Revised code are in order to address the safe operation of Kite Surfing equipment. By approaching the ODNR with our concerns and ideas we stand the best chance of creating common sense rules to protect Surfers and bystanders.

Power Kites are a fun and exciting way to harness the power of nature. Proper respect must be given to mother nature as she always has the last word when it comes to the weather. Safety is a methodology not a gimmick. Learn how to use your gear properly and understand the risk you undertake before setting up the kite. Common Sense is your friend. And of course, enjoy yourself, that is what it is all about.
