This was the relatively simple idea of the Legaignoux brothers when, in the 1980s, these two men from Brittany - who were passionate about sailing - decided to create an inflatable kite. From the first drawings to commercial success, including numerous tests, prototypes and patents, they revolutionized how people kitesurfed.
With contributions from the great names in water sports - Laird Hamilton, Mike Waltze, Laurent Ness, Don Montague, Franz Olry, Pete Cabrinha, Rob Douglas, Nicolas Parlier, Christophe Martin, Leif Leriche - this book tells the extraordinary story of the birth of a sport: kitesurfing.
