Winds Up Kitesurfing is an arcade-style simulation game for anyone who loves kiteboarding. It lets you live out all your kitesurfing dreams right from your own device.
No wind? Stuck at work? No one at the beach? No worries, fellow Kitesurfers! Indulge your passion for Kiteboarding as you work your way to the top in career mode, or ride the wind at your own pace in freeride mode, honing your skills and enjoying three awesome locations as you go.

The game has been designed with realistic kite and board controls that mimic the wind window experience. This can be challenging at first, but once mastered during training mode, the skies the limit. If you have a passion for Kitesurfing and want to be able to ride the wind without limit, challenge yourself with kite loops and board offs, and maybe even jump a pier, then this game is for you.

A choice of four locations - Lagoon, The Coast, Paradise Islands and Ice World. Each location offers a unique seascape, and includes a variety of special features such as NPC Kitesurfers, dolphins, wind farms and, if you are up to the challenge, a pier to jump at The Coast. See what else you can find.. and jump!
I’m a solo developer who loves computer games and kitesurfing and wanted to combine my passions. Winds Up Kitesurfing is the result. It’s been my passion project, and I’ve really tried to create an authentic experience with some of the things I’ve always dreamt of achieving thrown in. I hope you enjoy this game, and thank you to all who download it.
