Power kiting is a wind-powered activity that uses large traction kites to generate pull across land. It is commonly enjoyed on beaches or open spaces and may be practised on foot or combined with activities such as landyachting or buggying. Unlike kitesurfing or kiteboarding, power kiting takes place entirely on land and does not involve water or boards designed for waves. It also differs from stunt or display kite flying, as traction kites are specifically designed to generate significant force. When travelling abroad, power kiting is typically undertaken at an amateur level for recreation rather than competition.
ActivitySure can cover power kiting when you are taking part overseas on an amateur, non-professional basis and in line with the policy conditions. While the activity does not involve water, the strength of the wind and the pull of the kite mean suitable travel insurance is important, particularly in unfamiliar locations..

Destination Insight
Where is popular for power kiting?
Power kiting is popular in destinations known for wide open spaces and consistent wind conditions. The beaches of Wales are a common choice, offering long stretches of sand and reliable coastal winds suitable for traction kites. Internationally, locations such as Namibia and Morocco attract power kiting enthusiasts thanks to their open landscapes, steady gusts and established kite sports communities.
Here's why power kiting travel insurance matters:
Power kiting relies heavily on wind strength and control. Sudden gusts, loss of balance or unexpected kite movement can lead to strains, falls or being dragged across uneven ground. If you require medical treatment while abroad, or need to return home earlier than planned, travel insurance can help provide financial protection.
Helpful travel tips
- Keep a wide berth from obstacles, buildings and other people to reduce the risk of collisions
- Brace yourself and be prepared to release power if sudden gusts increase the pull of the kite.
- Monitor wind conditions closely and avoid flying in unstable or excessively strong winds
- Wear appropriate safety equipment, such as gloves and a helmet where suitable.
- Always follow guidance from instructors or organisers and stop if conditions become unsafe.
