Le surf cerf-volant, aussi appelé le surf aérotracté, est une activité où les participants utilisent un grand cerf-volant à commande manuelle qui les tire sur l'eau. Les surfeurs se tiennent debout sur une planche munie de cale-pieds spécialement conçue pour le surf cerf-volant [et] de taille similaire à celle d'une petite planche à neige ou d'une planche nautique. Cette activité peut être pratiquée partout en eau libre et où il y a des vents stables. 2, record 1, French, - surf%20cerf%2Dvolant
