Formula Kite Explained

Formula Kite is the kitesurfing class chosen by World Sailing for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1] [2] The class features a foil kite and a board with a hydrofoil. The equipment is not one-design, but instead competitors use their choice of approved production equipment.[3] The International Kiteboarding Association (IKA) manages the class. The class is for men and women.[4]
