Richard Branson Is A Kite Surfer

Flying is something that has amazed mankind — ever since they saw birds surf the skies. Richard Branson is fascinated by kite-surfing. Kitesurfing, also named Kiteboarding, belongs to an extreme sport where the kiteboarder uses high-powered kites to fly in water or land. The Virgin group founder is an excellent kite-surfer. He even holds a Guinness World Record for kite-surfing with most people at once. He also owns an island, Necker Island, and this is where he learned how to kite-surf.

It is not a weird hobby, but since Richard is 70 years old, it is considered odd for his age. Most of those who are engaged in this sport are younger ones. But then again, who are we to judge and prevent anyone from having a hobby that they like? He just has to be careful and make sure his insurance premiums are all paid up as accidents can happen.
