In the Second World War I, Americans had used kites as mechanism of defense against airplanes. In 1295, the Italian explorer Marco Polo is pointed as the responsible for taking the Asian invention to Europe, The English George Peacock is considered the father of the traction kite, for having invented, in 1826, in Bristol (England), a structure where a wagon was pulled for kites to the speeds of up 20 Km/h. Its alternative did not evolve very in almost 150 years, not to be for the experience of one of the pioneers of aviation, the American Samuel Franklin Cody, who sailed the Channel pulled for a kite. Jalbert, (U.S.A), created in 1964 the first kite that was inflated of air and, in the decade of 70, some Americans had started to use parachute to pull them into water.

   
 

In 1977, the dutch Gijsbertus Panhuise obtains to patent an equipment where a person in a plate pulled by a parachute and, in 1978, a catamaran moved by a kite developed for the American Ian Day exceeds the 40 speed of Km/h. In the decade of 80, had been made some attempts – badly succeeded - to combine kites with canoes, skids, aquatic skids of ice, among others. One of them was of the Swiss Andreas Kuhn - that, on a similar plate of wakeboard and stimulated for an original equipment, raised the water: about 25 square meters,. Shown for the European TV, he was probably the first one to jump and raised with weak winds. But it was from the work of two families, an American and a Frenchman, also in the decade of 80, that it was initiated (chronology) so that kitesurf arrived at the form that has currently.
