Kitesurfing

Richard Branson does it. Barack Obama does it. And this holiday, you can too! Kitesurfing – the art of riding the waves, propelled by a power kite – is more popular and safe than it's ever been, and it's surprisingly quick to learn, too. After a week's course you could be leaping, spinning, backrolling and grabbing with the best of them (or staying up and riding the board, anyway!) Make this the year you pop up into kitesurfing in any one of a string of gorgeous, windswept destinations: Vietnam, Florida, Greece, Zanzibar, Costa Rica...You'll be guest of honour at the British Virgin Islands in no time!
