Which sports make it easier to then learn kitesurfing?
It is good if you are used to handling a lot of power and speed. That way you won’t be too surprised with the power of the kite. Any water or board sport has similarities with kitesurfing. Experience in any one of those sports can be a help. Kitesurfing is pretty much a combination of flying a kite with surfing or wakeboarding. It is definitely worth flying a little kite on the beach and doing some wakeboarding before or in between your kitesurfing lessons.
