The BEST Kitesurfing Movies on YouTube

As the world begins to show signs of opening back up (not to jinx it), we hope that travelling to some of these destinations might be possible soon.
Here are the best kitesurfing movies and kitesurfing documentaries that YouTube has to offer. These have recently been the fuel for kiteboarders dreams with travel restrictions in place.
Hopefully, before too long, these dreams can become a reality once more. I hope you enjoy the list and if there are any others you particularly love that don’t feature. Please be sure to add a comment below.
